Scott Mulvahill wows listeners with his NPR Tiny Desk Concerts Performance
For the high-profile segment, Mulvahill performed solo and with his band on the songs “Begin Againers,” “Gold Plated Lie,” and “Himalayas.” Says Mulvahill about the opportunity to perform a Tiny Desk Concert: “The cool thing about playing behind the desk is that it’s unusual enough to push you out of your realm of comfort, and I think you can sense that in a lot of Tiny Desk performances. You can’t lean on a loud sound system, show lighting, etc. It’s very exposed, and that puts you on the edge of your abilities, and I think that’s why they get so many great performances on their show. It was a dream to play it, and kind of trippy to see photos of myself standing in that spot.” Tiny Desk Concerts host Bob Boilen praised Mulvahill, writing: “This is a perfect introduction to an artist with enormous talent and an artist seeking to stretch his musical world.”
