"David Byrne recently stopped by NPR for a Tiny Desk Concert in between dates of his expansive world tour in support of his new album, Who Is the Sky? Watch a replay below. Though the Talking Heads founder had to downsize his elaborate stage production to fit the 10-by-11-foot space, Byrne still managed to bring along more than a dozen performers, who played instruments including cello, saxophone, marimba, and a Brazilian timbau and zabumba."
"During the four-song set, Byrne opened with two tracks from his new album, "Everybody Laughs" and "Don't Be Like That," before transitioning into a pair of Talking Heads songs: 1988's "(Nothing But) Flowers" and a lively version of "Life During Wartime" from 1979's Fear of Music. A few weeks ago, Byrne officially released his recent live staple, "T Shirt," a new single co-written by Brian Eno. He's set to close out the year with remaining tour dates in Atlanta and Miami (get tickets here) before opening 2026 with an overseas run (get tickets here) featuring a month of Australian shows before heading to Europe."
