Quinn Christopherson

Quinn is an Athabaskan and Inupiaq songwriter who was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. Quinn addresses his childhood and his role as a transgender individual navigating Alaska's social landscape through his music.

Quinn’s entry captivated the Tiny Desk Contest judge panel from start to finish. His powerful song “Erase Me” is a nuanced take on his experience as a transgender man coming to terms with the power of his voice. Standing in front of a majestic painting of Mt. Denali, Quinn and his bandmate Nick Carpenter created their own work of art.

Bandits On The Run

Bandits on the Run is Brooklyn's very own criminal whimsy ring, composed of cellist/badass Bonanza Jellyfish, guitarist/fool Roy Dodger, and player-of-toys/clairvoyant Clarissa. Veterans of the NYC busking scene, the three specialize in coloring any old place with a distinctive atmosphere, easily connecting with an audience while trading off frontman roles, with each bandit adding their unique voice and songwriting prowess to the pot for a heady, mood-buoying brew.

Nik Alexander

NIK ALEXANDER is a versatile singer, songwriter and story teller. Using gospel, Jazz and musical theater inflection. The New York Native Combines chords and lyrics that evoke freedom, refuge and restoration. Clinging to great influences like Stephen Sondheim, Stew and the negro problem and Earha Kitt. Nik's boundless energy and vocal ability has made him a favorite on the New York City music scene.

Sofie Zamchick

Sofie Zamchick is a New York-based singer/songwriter, musician, and actress. Accompanying herself on VibeKAT, marimba, piano, and guitar, Sofie writes indie pop songs that are anxiously romantic, exploring intimate moments and fleeting memories. Sofie is a graduate of NYU’s Experimental Theatre Wing and Juilliard Pre-College. Her upcoming EP “until we meet” is an autobiographical collection of songs exploring intimacy through technology.

Ophira Eisenberg

Host

Ophira Eisenberg is a Canadian-born stand-up comedian and writer. She hosts NPR's comedy and trivia show Ask Me Another, airing nationally on more than 400 stations. When not immersed in trivia, she can be seen headlining across the United States, Canada, and Europe, and is a regular host and storyteller on The Moth Radio Hour. She has appeared on Comedy Central, This Week at The Comedy Cellar, The New Yorker Festival, Kevin Hart's LOL Network, HBO's Girls, Gotham Live, The Late Late Show, The Today Show, and VH1. Eisenberg was selected as one of New York Magazine's "Top 10 Comics that Funny People Find Funny," and has been featured in The New York Times.

Johnathan Coulton

House Musician

Jonathan Coulton is the in-house musician for NPR's Ask Me Another. In 2005, Coulton dropped out of a perfectly good software career to write music on the Internet. He quietly and independently amassed a small army of techies, nerds, and dedicated superfans. His Internet superstar status has led to much real world success. He tours extensively in the United States, Canada, the UK, and Europe. His song "Code Monkey" was used as the theme for the G4 animated series "Code Monkeys," and in 2007 he was tapped to write "Still Alive," the closing song to the award-winning game Portal. That song won the Game Audio Network Guild's Best Original Vocal Pop Song award in 2008, and has been called the greatest video game ending song of all time.
