The lineup includes both emerging and established artists who will be performing a Tiny Desk concert for the first time. This celebration highlights the beautiful cornucopia of Black music and our special way of presenting it. We hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Bobby Carter | February 25, 2021<br \/>\nKirk Franklin, set up with his band and choir in a corner of Uncle Jessie&#8217;s Kitchen, makes a declaration. &#8220;I know you&#8217;re at home right now, in your draws, listening to some Jesus music. It&#8217;s ok. Jesus loves you in your draws!&#8221; The Arlington, Texas studio, named after a long time close friend, features a large photo of the iconic &#8220;I AM A MAN&#8221; protest signs from the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Strike on the wall. The jubilant energy that Franklin and company emit, juxtaposed with a visual reminder of the strife that Black people have endured is illustrative of the importance of gospel music in the Black community.<\/p>\n<p>For nearly 30 years, Franklin has been widely regarded for revolutionizing gospel. He incorporated secular music, particularly hip-hop, while preserving the message and integrity of traditional gospel. Here, he and his powerhouse choir pace through a decades-long, sixteen Grammy award winning discography of faith, praise and encouragement while cracking plenty of jokes. I cannot recall a more moving Tiny Desk home performance.<\/p>\n<p>All month long, we&#8217;ve presented artists that speak to the diversity and complexity of Black music&#8211;where we&#8217;ve been, where we are and where we&#8217;re going. For the final show, we take it back to the spiritual roots and there&#8217;s no one more fitting to cap things off than Mr. Kirk Franklin.<\/p>\n<p>SET LIST<br \/>\nLove Theory<br \/>\nSilver and Gold<br \/>\nMelodies From Heaven<br \/>\nI Smile<\/p>\n<p>MUSICIANS<br \/>\nKirk Franklin: vocals, keys<br \/>\nMelodie Pace: vocals<br \/>\nDarian Elliot: vocals<br \/>\nMichael Bethany: vocals<br \/>\nEboni Ellerson: vocals<br \/>\nDeon Yancey: vocals<br \/>\nTia Rudd: vocals<br \/>\nShaun Martin: keyboard<br \/>\nMatthew Ramsey: bass<br \/>\nTerry Baker: drums, percussion<\/p>\n<p>CREDITS<br \/>\nVideo: Clear Scope Media<br \/>\nAudio: Michael Havens Reese Brooks<\/p>\n<p>TINY DESK TEAM<br \/>\nProducers: Bobby Carter<br \/>\nVideo Producer: Morgan Noelle Smith<br \/>\nAudio Mastering: Josh Rogosin<br \/>\nArt Director: CJ Riculan<br \/>\nTiny Production Team: Bob Boilen, Kara Frame, Maia Stern<br \/>\nExecutive Producer: Lauren Onkey<br \/>\nSenior VP, Programming: Anya Grundmann<\/p>\n<p>#nprmusic #kirkfranklin #gospel #tinydesk<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wRwId2RfmfA\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NPR Music&#8217;s Tiny Desk series will celebrate Black History Month by featuring four weeks of Tiny Desk (home) concerts and playlists by Black artists spanning [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12044,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2312,6518,1239,5296,1238,752,6512,6510,6511,1313,6517,6516,6513,6514,6515],"class_list":["post-12042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-concert","tag-desk","tag-franklin","tag-home","tag-kirk","tag-live","tag-national-public-radio","tag-npr","tag-npr-music","tag-performance","tag-tiny","tag-tiny-concert","tag-tiny-desk","tag-tiny-desk-concert","tag-tony-desk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
