John Fogerty performs CCR classics for NPR's Tiny Desk concert series




John Fogerty and his family performed a trio of Creedence Clearwater Revival classics during an appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series this week.

The guitarist was joined by sons Tyler and Shane and daughter Kelsy for the home quarantine jam, which opened with Fogerty’s 1985 hit, “Centerfield”, before rolling out the CCR hits "Down On The Corner", "Long As I Can See The Light" and "Proud Mary."

Launched in 2008, the program features artists performing behind a desk in the NPR offices in Washington, DC; according to NPR, the series “is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit – stripped-down sets, an intimate setting – just a different space.”

Fogerty has been sharing a number of video performances during the pandemic, including “Lodi”, “Down On The Corner”, an appearance on Rolling Stone’s “In My Room” series and playing a pair of CCR tunes at home.
