Tenille Townes presents her thoughts on the connection between grief and joy: the way cracks - the pain in our past - can allow beautiful light into our lives. In this journey of unforgettable musical storytelling, she reveals the inspiration behind three of her most popular songs. Canadian-born and Nashville-based, Tenille Townes is a two-time ACM Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician in the midst of a breakthrough year following the release of her acclaimed debut album, The Lemonade Stand. Out now via Columbia Nashville in partnership with RCA Records, the album was produced by Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town) and consists of twelve songs all written by Townes. Since the release, Townes has been named New Female Artist of the Year at the 55th ACM Awards and won three awards at the 2020 Canadian Country Music Awards, making her an eight-time CCMA winner. She is also the first female in Mediabase Canada history to achieve two #1 singles with album tracks “Jersey On The Wall (I’m Just Asking)” and “Somebody’s Daughter.” Adding to an already notable career, Townes is a MusicRow 2020 Next Big Thing Artist, an iHeartCountry’s “On The Verge” artist and has raised over $2 million dollars for charity through her annual Big Hearts For Big Kids fundraiser. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
