Karine Polwart Trio: Tiny Desk Concert

Scottish singer, songwriter and essayist Karine Polwart seldom comes stateside, eschewing air travel to reduce her carbon footprint. But on a rare, recent visit, she stopped in D.C. for a Tiny Desk.

It's hard to believe that our screening of The Rugged Island: A Shetland Lyric (1933) was already almost 2 weeks ago! 😭 It was a delight to watch Jenny Gilbertson's intimate 'story-documentary' with a new music commission from @IngeThomson and Catriona Macdonald. 📷 Kat Gollock
