Mac Miller NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Aug. 6, 2018, Bobby Carter There was a shift in Mac Miller s boisterous demeanor as he started the third of his threesong Tiny Desk set. It s the first time he s performed tracks from his new album, Swimming, in front of an audience. On 2009, he rubbed his chin with clinched eyes, looking like a young man who s beginning to crack the code. Backed by a piano loop and a string quartet, he reflected on his journey s peaks and valleys thus far. Set List Small Worlds What s the Use (Feat.
