NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2023

We submitted our song Rock ‘n Roll Sailor to the 2023 NPR Tiny Desk Contest.

Our entry isn’t up there yet because we were kind of last minute this time round. But it’s on YouTube.

It’s a brand new song we wrote that we were still in the process of learning while preparing our entry. This video is the only place you can hear our new song.

But it was so much fun! We’re excited to throw our hat in the ring. We’re even more excited to record this song for our new album.

Please wish us luck. Cheers!
