Every Story Has a Song: A Live Experiment from the Come Together Music Project
Presented by:
TEDxNashville × The Come Together Music Project
Date & Time:
Tuesday, January 7
6:30–8:30 PM (Doors at 6:00)
Analog at the Hutton Hotel
Can music bridge the distance between two very different lives?
In this live experiment, Come Together Music Project founder Shaka Mitchell invites GRAMMY-nominated artist Devon Gilfillian and Nashville mayor Freddie O’Connell to answer a series of personal questions — where every answer must be a song.
As the conversation unfolds, we’ll hear the music, the stories behind it, and the surprising overlaps that emerge along the way. What begins as two distinct playlists slowly becomes a shared soundtrack — revealing how music can connect us across difference, identity, and experience.
This is more than a talk. It’s part listening party, part social experiment, part TED-style exploration of what unites us when words fall short.
And because this is TEDxNashville, the audience plays a role too.
Attendees will receive a prompt to submit their own “song answers” before the event — a few will be featured live, woven into the evening’s dialogue.
