This week, we have a good time the Tiny Desk Contest group with concert events by a few of our favourite entrants through the years.
We obtain 1000’s of submissions for the Tiny Desk Contest. And yearly, there is a clear winner, however there are additionally a handful of artists we simply fall in love with. So, to kick off our very first Tiny Desk Contest takeover, please meet Sally Child’s Silver {Dollars}.
“I’ve Obtained No Extra Tears Left to Cry,” the tune the band submitted for our 2024 contest, practically gained the entire thing — it was a photograph end with The Philharmonik. But band bassist Zach Valentine instructed me that taking second place was a blessing in disguise: “We weren’t prepared then, however we’re right here now on the good time.” Since then, lead singer Salvatore Geloso and the crew have traveled past their New Orleans residence, enjoying festivals throughout the nation, with new music on the horizon.
Whereas not born in New Orleans, Geloso embodies town’s spirit by and thru, and the life highlights and lowlights he writes about have been principally skilled within the place he is referred to as residence for over 18 years. There are a lot of acquainted Louisiana sounds within the band’s music. “Down in New Orleans” seems like Fats Tuesday on Bourbon Road, however they do not simply lean on custom. Sally Child’s Silver {Dollars} is inherently funky and timeless, which is why the band has shortly gone from busking and enjoying tiny dives to doing its factor behind the Tiny Desk.
