Tiny Desk Contest Deadline!

  The Tiny Desk Contest is back!

NPR is running the Tiny Desk Contest again this year with the sponsorship of Lagunitas Brewing Co.  The winner of the contest will play a Tiny Desk concert behind Bob Boilen’s desk at NPR in D.C. and then go on a fully funded tour of the United States with NPR Music and Lagunitas Brewing Co.

 

 

Here’s how you enter:

  • Make a video of yourself performing an original song behind a desk of your choosing. Gather your friends and grab a smartphone or an iPad or a full-on camera rig. Shoot it however you like. What matters is the music, and that you have as much fun as possible bringing this together.
  • NPR will take submissions between Jan. 13 and Jan. 29, 2017, at 11:59 p.m. ET!
  • NPR is looking for undiscovered talent; you can’t have a current recording contract.
  • You must be at least 21 years old and live in the U.S. to enter.

You can submit your entries HERE.

Loren’s been on the Radio in Anchorage for 30 years. Since the mid 80's he's worked with Anchorage radio stations including KWHL, KFQD, KKLV, and KMXS. His passion for Music and the 'Triple-A' radio format began in the early 90’s which led to him to help establish the format for KNBA when the station signed on in 1996. When not on the radio hosting a music show and interviewing local and national music acts, he may be on a long road trip or you’ll find him hanging out at his log cabin in the quiet, but bear filled hillside valley of his hometown Anchorage.
