Living in the question | Natalie Gelman | TEDxSpokane

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. When we focus solely on where we are going and how we'll get there, it is hard to make connections and appreciate the possibilities around us every day. There is a balance between spontaneity and structure that can help, this talk explores that idea. This street performing NYC troubadour has won over hearts across the country with her music, soulful voice and dynamic songwriting. Natalie Gelman has performed everywhere from a subway platform to Carnegie Hall. Finding herself in national publications like the NY Times and Billboard magazine because of it. Often compared to Sheryl Crow, Joni Mitchell and Jewel, Natalie is an artist in her own right - called “Simply Terrific” by the NY Post and named the “poster girl for the solo, storytelling singer/songwriter” by Music Connection Magazine.
