Your Dreams Don’t Belong to You | Drew Holcomb | TEDxMemphis

While it may seem that our dreams are intensely personal, Musician Drew Holcomb makes a compelling case that the inspiration for achieving those dreams is product of your past, your present and your willingness to share. Drew Holcomb has collected many souvenirs over the course of his musical career.
A road warrior for more than a decade, Drew has spent his adulthood onstage and on the road, traveling from place to place with a catalog of vibrant, honest songs that explore the full range of American roots music.
He released a new, highly collaborative album in 2017 entitled “Souvenir.” The album focuses on the things that truly stick with you - family and friends, music and memories, people and places - in a fast-moving world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

"Music tells us our stories better than we can even tell them to ourselves. It speaks to our sufferings; it speaks to our joy, makes us want to dance, makes us want to weep. Makes us want to take a road trip, make love. And it narrates all the personal and important moments in our life."
