Joe Henry's new 'Reverie' reflects his fearlessly easygoing style, so asking him to sing in a crowded office never  felt like an imposition.

The genre-bending cellist heads a dream team of string players in music that borrows from bluegrass. Hear the quartet play three songs from their album 'The Goat Rodeo Sessions.'

With the help of Iranian singer-percussionist Aida Shahghasemi, Marketa Irglova crafts a lovely mix of the exotic and the familiar; of sweetness and longing. Watch the pair perform three songs in the NPR Music offices.

Jens Lekman is a singer-songwriter, storyteller, actor and comedian whose banter falls somewhere between the effortless delivery of a seasoned comic and the nervous rambling of an indie-rock frontman. Lekman shows off his humor and charm in this intimate set at the NPR Music offices.

Juanes' five albums have struck a chord with millions, making him a superstar who can fill stadiums and large arenas across Latin America and the U.S. Watch the charismatic Colombian superstar give an intimate performance at the NPR Music offices.

The classical violinist blends Bach and Charles Ives with flair, then tops it off with a fedora.

Bassist Ben Williams is a rising jazz star. He won the 2009 Thelonious Monk Competition and received a recording contract for his debut album, State of Art, which was released this summer. Williams brought his band Sound Effect to perform two songs from that album at the NPR Music offices.

Grouplove writes songs that have you pounding the  steering wheel to the beat, and are worth rolling down the  car windows and sharing with pedestrians whether they want to hear them or not. The young band brings that sort of infectious energy to the NPR Music offices.

It speaks well of this performance that Fountains of Wayne's set pokes around in a few gray areas; its four songs showcase a band with tremendous narrative gifts and a real flair for subtle beauty. // For more videos visit npr.org/tinydeskconcerts.

He can play the horn. He can sing. And that's made him the latest musical star of a great New Orleans tradition. But Trombone Shorty mainly just wants you to dance: "I know you came here to move," he sings to an office full of NPR staff.

Ring in Rosh Hashanah with three globe-trotting tunes from The Klezmatics one of the world's greatest Jewish bands.
