Ty Dolla $ign Pays Tribute To Mac Miller At The Tiny Desk

“Aug. 8, 2019 | Bobby Carter -- Today, Aug. 8, marks the one-year anniversary of when NPR Music published the late Mac Miller's Tiny Desk. Last week, Ty Dolla $ign visited NPR headquarters to record a fantastic Tiny Desk concert of his own that will air in its entirety soon. But once we wrapped the taping, something special happened: I reminded Ty that he sat at the desk almost a year to the day that his friend, Mac, delivered what would be one of his final performances. The band paused and huddled. They mulled over a few notes in a matter of seconds then gave me a signal that they were ready. The room was silenced and the cameras started rolling again. Here's Ty performing a moving rendition of his 2016 collaboration with Mac, "Cinderella" from Mac's fourth studio album, The Divine Feminine. Ty's flanked by two close friends of Mac, Thundercat on bass and Justus West on guitar, both of whom played at the Tiny Desk with the Pittsburgh-born rapper a year ago.”

Cory Henry at the Delta Stage, Bluesfest Byron Bay, 17 April 2022

My favourite act at Bluesfest Byron Bay 2022. It’s unusual for working photographers to stop shooting and applaud, but they did for Cory Henry. I caught the trio three times and watched their final set from beginning to end. Funky, jazzy, soulful. Cory’s interplay with drummer TaRon Lockett was breath-taking. Superbly crafted entertainment.
