NPR just announced the winner of its Tiny Desk Concert Contest, Minnesota violin player Gaelynn Lea.
Bands and solo acts from across the country entered the contest, including some notable entries fromour music-rich region.
Several of the regional entries have played sessions in our studio, hosted by JPR FM Program Director Eric Teel. Eric gets to be the interviewee this time, as he tells us of the area musicians who took a shot at the Tiny Desk, with music samples galore.
