"Death Valley Blues" Named Tiny Desk Top Shelf

Alidade’s entry for the 2019 Tiny Desk Contest was named a judges’ favorite.

As it opens, Alidade’s entry video looks unassuming: It’s just singer Lindsay Sack with a guitar, a mic and a small desk under a bridge in Providence, R.I. But with its droning guitar and aching narrative, “Death Valley Blues” left a lasting impressed. The stirring, heartsick song caught our ears, with our judges praising Sack’s lyrics and saying they hoped to hear more from her in the future.
