Live at The Independent, Big Sky
Join TEDxBigSky musicians for an intimate musical performance as a part of the Big sky Ideas Fest. Benabou describes her music as transformational, powerful and vulnerable, and a culmination of her own breakthroughs and rock bottoms; lessons and healing she hopes will facilitate listeners’ discovery of their own intimate truth. Anfinson’s music paints intimate pictures of the Montana way of life; the people, landscapes and history we love so much. His music is authentic, lyric-heavy, relying on the power of storytelling to make people feel and connect.
