NPR Music celebrates Black Music Month with an all female lineup.
NPR Music is thrilled to announce this year’s Black Music month programming at the Tiny Desk. The all-women lineup includes: Tems, Chaka Khan, Tierra Whack, Kierra Sheard, Lakecia Benjamin, Meshell Ndegeocello, Brittney Spencer, SWV and Flo Milli.
Host and series producer Bobby Carter and the rest of the Tiny Desk team will highlight the different generations of musicians beginning June 3. The special series will have a theme: “Giving women their flowers.” After each concert, musicians are given their favorite flowers in honor of their impact and legacy in music. As part of the celebration, NPR Music will also produce short-form interviews for Instagram with a few of the artists speaking about their journey and experiences.
The Tiny Desk concert series now reaches more than 16 million monthly viewers, contributing to more than 45 million views per month. Watch Tiny Desk concerts atnpr.org/tinydesk.
