Tiny Shell Sessions

Produced and Created by Moulin Noir Arts Collective | Envisioned by Midtown Kava

Tiny Shell Sessions is a live music and artist spotlight series designed to bring audiences into an intimate, soul-filled experience where music, storytelling, and community collide. Inspired by the vibe of Tiny Desk concerts, this series offers a unique platform for independent artists to perform raw, stripped-down sets in a space rooted in healing and connection.

Curated and hosted by artist and performer Zee Underscore, and produced in partnership with Moulin Noir Arts Collective, the series champions Black and LGBTQIA+ artists and storytellers through a lens of authenticity, joy, and community care.

Whether you're coming for the music, the energy, or the shell, Tiny Shell Sessions is where the art feels personal—and the vibe feels like home.

Intimate. Intentional. Unforgettable.

Each session features a 45-minute live set followed by a 15-minute artist Q&A, offering guests a deeper look into the heart and soul behind the music. Hosted by the incredible Zee Underscore, the series is open too everyone but centers and uplifts Black and LGBTQIA+ voices in a high-vibrational setting filled with kava, crystals, and care.

Every ticket includes a complimentary shell of kava, and seating is intentionally limited to keep the experience close and connected.

Season 1 runs through June 12
Season 2 premieres August 7

Whether you come to vibe, reflect, or simply listen, Tiny Shell Sessions invites you into a space where the art is real, the energy is healing, and the community is everything.
