TEDxChattanooga Sessions has always been about the space between the notes: the stories, the vulnerability, the humanity behind the music. This year, alongside Stove Works, we deepened that experience by also inviting visual art into the room where we collectively explored the intersection of music and visual art. The musicians not only performed stripped down versions of their originals but also perform a brand new song in response to a piece of art in the gallery. During their sets, they performed next to that piece of art sharing the creative journey and the connection they discovered between sound and art. Blake Worthington's setlist: 1.
