Tiny Desk STL

St. Louis' music scene is well represented once again in NPR's Tiny Desk Contest.

NPR Music will pick its 2018 winner, who will get to play a concert at NPR's studios in Washington, D.C., appear on Ask Me Another and tour the country.

Here in St. Louis, one of our favorites will play a local show in April. Who? It’s up to you! Vote for your favorite, and the act with the most votes will perform at our happy hour concert at 6 p.m. April 5 at Anew Rooftop & Test Kitchen.

Bands and singers selected for profiles and last year's concert are ineligible to be featured this year. Gotta spread the love!

Speaking of, St. Louis' 2017 favorite was Bruiser Queen. Here's that entry:

Tell us your faves for this year's contest:
