WMFE Tiny Desk Contest
For local musicians and public radio fans, one of the most coveted stages in the country is the "tiny desk" of NPR host Bob Boilen and his NPR music crew. Every year, there's a nationwide open call for musicians to submit a desk-based performance to their local public radio outlet, where a panel of local experts determines the most worthy area entrant to be sent on to the national judging. The Sh-Booms almost took it all one year! Submissions are currently open until June 7. The rest of us can then thrill to the videos of the local finalists.
