Sonic Guild Showcase: Big Things Happen At Small Desks

Sonic Guild Showcase: Big Things Happen At Small Desks

"A Tiny Desk slot is like a musician’s NPR blue check.” — Rolling Stone

Join Sonic Guild for a very special Tiny Desk Preview Concert featuring Seattle band Ollella before they head out to Washington DC to film their first NPR Tiny Desk Concert on January 13th, 2026.

In today’s music world NPR is a tastemaker and being invited to record a Tiny Desk Session is often viewed as a “rite of passage” for serious musicians. For indie and emerging acts, it’s akin to a late-night TV debut — but more musically intimate and respected.

This show will give you the opportunity to experience their set up close as they prepare for the taping while helping them raise money to cover their travel expenses.

All proceeds from the public ticket sales will support the band’s travel expenses.

This show is seated and all ages. Please note that there are accessibility restrictions at Studio X – feel free to reach out if you are concerned about whether you are able to attend given accessibility.
