NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2023.

[Reid Gibson]

Greetings, Songsters, I don't know how many of you are familiar with NPR's (National Public Radio) "Tiny Desk" Concert/contest, which they hold every year. This year's deadline is March 13.  This is an honor and a great marketing tool for songwriters. I was fortunate this year to be accepted with a song entitled "Sand and Broken Shell," which took me more than two years to write; 12 rewrites and 3 studio recordings.  The song originally came to me in a dream, with two females singing it, so I knew it wasn't going to be easy. The NPR contest requires that you sing it live, no backup tracks, and it has to have a "desk" visible in the video. So this is just one guitar and one voice. Here's the link:

Good luck, Reid!  

 

Thanks!  Good topic. Just seeing it..  There are other Songstuff members, here in the states, that are doing Tiny Tunes. They could have been interested 🙄.
