Join WBEZ, NPR Music and Lagunitas Brewing Company for a celebration of the Tiny Desk Contest community in Chicago! This event will feature a live performance by 2018 Tiny Desk Contest winner Naia Izumi, as well as some of our favorite local artists who entered the Contest this year:

 
• Growing Concerns Poetry Collective
• MICHA
• Dxtr Spits & The Devonn's

Thousands of unsigned bands and artists entered NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest in 2018, our search to find a great undiscovered talent to perform at the most famous desk in music. Our judges picked one winner, but in the process, we found many new musicians to fall in love with, and countless reasons to celebrate all the creativity tucked away in communities across the country.

Now, NPR Music and Lagunitas Brewing Company, the sponsor of the Tiny Desk Contest since its launch in 2014, are teaming up with our friends at WBEZ to bring Naia Izumi and the Tiny Desk Contest tour to Chicago.

It's back! The second installment of our annual Winter Slumber featuring Chicago singer-songwriter, guitarist and banjoist AL SCORCH returns to the Empty Bottle Brunch Hour. A special residency that started here in early 2013, this Sunday afternoon series finds Scorch and a variety of guests stretching their musical legs and 2018 will see a charitable element brought to each month's installment.

In February we will be accepting donations for two organizations: PRIMA (Puerto Rico Independent Musicians & Artists) and Puerto Rico No Se Vende.

Raquel Berríos and Luis Del Valle, members of the indie band BUSCABULLA, and Latina musician ANI CORDERO have started the Puerto Rico Independent Musicians Fund (PRIMA), an emergency grant to help struggling artists in Puerto Rico after the category 4 storm ravaged the U.S territory in September.

With great music, jolly people and a damn good cause, Winter Slumbers are always a fantastic way to spend some of those escape the tundra Sunday afternoons. So grab a pal or four, order a round of bloodies, maybe some brunch, and enjoy the 2018 Winter Slumber.

The release of her first album Color LP opened the gate for several collaborations with artists in Canada and around the world, making her one of the most prolific song-writer, lyricist and an improv virtuoso of her generation.
