Join us in an online listening party for Sleater-Kinney's new album. With World Cafe's Raina Douris in the host chair, we'll feature a live conversation with Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker.

This week's entries include odes to being fed up and a song inspired by silence. If you want to send us your song, don't delay: There's less than a week left to enter this year's Tiny Desk Contest.

Throughout the next few weeks, we'll be sharing some of the many Contest entries that have caught our attention. Our first edition includes folk from California, hip-hop from Maryland and more.

Each year, one Tiny Desk Contest winner gets to play their own Tiny Desk concert. But we've discovered many more great artists through the Contest — and have invited a few of them to play here, too.

The first 2021 Contest entry comes from Minneapolis songwriter (and three-time entrant) Kahlen. If you've got big dreams of playing a Tiny Desk concert, we're accepting entries until June 7.

Send in your video before midnight on June 7. If you win, you'll play your very own Tiny Desk concert at NPR's headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Unsigned musicians: We want to hear from you. Starting May 11, send us a video of you performing one original song at a desk — and you might get to come play behind Bob Boilen's.

Join us in an online listening party for Dawn Richard's Second Line. Hosted by WNXP's Jewly Hight, the event will feature a live conversation with Richard herself — along with Dawn's mom, Debbie.

While Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi made her new album in their new home of Ireland during 2020, they felt called by the places that had given them life and drawn to the mysteries of death.

NPR Music hosted online listening party for the anniversary of Sharon Van Etten's breakthrough album, featuring a live conversation with Van Etten herself along with Shamir.
