“Trying to get all of us in here was a game of Tetris”: Justin Timberlake and his 14-strong band, The Tennessee Kids, put on a sparkling Tiny Desk Concert

Although it’s debatable just how small the desk that features in NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert series actually is, the space for musicians around said desk doesn’t appear to be vast. So credit to everyone involved for managing to squeeze in not only Justin Timberlake, but also his 14-strong band of Tennessee Kids for their semi-unplugged performance.

“I forget how many of us there are,” says Timberlake at one point. “Y’all really lived up to the name, Tiny Desk. Yesterday, trying to get all of us in here was a game of Tetris. But we did it and we’re here and we’re happy to be here.”
