Billy Strings played NPR’s Tiny Desk on November 6th, 2025, and the performance was special enough to press onto wax. On April 18th, Record Store Day 2026 brings that set to life as a limited 12-inch EP on Milky White vinyl, pressed to just 7,000 copies via Reprise Records. It’s one of the most compelling RSD releases of the year for any fan of acoustic music done at the highest possible level.
The four-track EP captures Strings at his most intimate, featuring fan favorites “Red Daisy” and “Gild the Lily” alongside “My Alice” and “Malfunction Junction.” Tiny Desk sets have a way of stripping an artist down to their essential qualities, and Strings, whose Grammy-winning album ‘Highway Prayers’ has already cemented his place as one of the most gifted players of his generation, delivers exactly that kind of performance here.
Strings is currently back on the road in support of ‘Highway Prayers,’ and the demand for his live shows continues to grow with every tour cycle. The Tiny Desk EP is a perfect document of where he is as an artist right now, focused, precise, and completely compelling in a room with no room to hide.
7,000 copies. April 18th. Find your copy first.
