The Heligoats' Chris Otepka is the star of NPR Music's 100th Tiny Desk Concert. In many ways, he's the perfect act to mark that milestone: His music is best heard in an intimate setting, where his words can unfurl clearly and he can hold a small room rapt -- which he does here, to say the least.

Set List:
"Goodness Gracious"
"I'm Pretty Sure I Can See Molecules"
"A Guide to the Outdoors"
"Fish Sticks"
