We asked, and Central Ohio responded: Almost 50 bands submitted songs to NPR's 2019 Tiny Desk Contest!
Will any win their very own Tiny Desk Concert at NPR headquarters in Washington, D.C.? We'll have to wait until later this month to find out.
But there's more: WOSU Public Media is also picking its favorite entry from Central Ohio!
Our choice, as decided by a panel of local judges, will be invited into the WOSU studios to perform on our televised music series Broad & High Presents, be interviewed during All Things Considered, get a profile on our website, and more! It's a pretty big deal.
While our judges decide, we want to know what our readers think! Below, watch all the songs submitted by Central Ohio bands, and vote on which band you like best. We'll highlight the winner and some more great entries in a later story.
