The Philadelphia Phillies’ iconic mascot made a stop in Washington D.C. on his way to the London Series this weekend.
But they may have hosted the biggest mascot in baseball during a recent show featuring a Philadelphia native.
Philadelphia-based rapper and singer Tierra Whack made her Tiny Desk debut, with NRP releasing the video of her appearance on Friday. The series, which debuted in 2008, hosts almost near-daily shows these days. It has hosted more than 800 shows all-time.“Y’all know I gotta keep it Philly,” she said to NPR. “I bleed green. I bleed red. Anything Philly is all me. I had to bring a piece of home with me.
Her only chart single to date is "T.D,” a collaboration with Lil Yachty, ASAP Rocky & Tyler, the Creator which reached No. 83 on the U.S. charts in 2020. But she has also collaborated with Flying Lotus, Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Chief Keef. The Tiny Desk Concerts originated out of an idea hatched by NPR music editor after a bad experience listening to music at Austin’s South By Southwest festival. Prompted by that, along with a joke from a co-worker that folk singer Laura Gibson could just perform at a desk, NPR began the series with an online recording of Gibson performing at a desk.
