Rock

So much of the holiday season is about finding a balance between bright lights and dark nights. Sixpence None the Richer's music finds depth in the in-between.

It's always summer somewhere. Annie DiRusso and her band offer a five-song pageant full of clever costuming, synchronized dance moves and even a few behind-the-back guitar riffs.

In matching, brilliant blue suits, David Byrne and his band squeeze behind the Desk to perform four songs, including Talking Heads' "Life During Wartime."

The musician and actor helped propel reggae into the international spotlight, thanks in part to his songs and starring role in the 1972 film The Harder They Come.

Robert Plant's voice has only gotten better with age. In this beautiful set, Plant and his band cover Low, Moby Grape, Martha Scanlan and interpret traditional songs.

At the Tiny Desk, our small office crowd joins the thousands who have been inside of these power ballads and felt something real.

Jarvis Cocker croons, coos and dances his way through this career-spanning Tiny Desk with Pulp.

Meet Georgia South and Amy Love, the London rock duo known as the Nova Twins. These "massive pedal nerds" turn all the way up for Tiny Desk.

The Doobie Brothers, now more than 50 years in, start this set with "Takin' It to the Streets" and never let off the gas.

The effervescent pop-rock band is here with a crucial reminder: It's always summer somewhere.
