Music from the flooded community of Lyons, Colorado: The Watergirls at TEDxMileHigh

Lyons, Colorado is known for its community of artists and musicians. But after massive flooding in September, 2013, the entire town of a little more than 2,000 people was evacuated as homes and businesses washed away. In this powerful performance, six of the community's talented women -- KC Groves, Lauren Ling, Bonnie Payne, Enion Pelta Tiller, Cynthia Renwick, Sally Truitt, and Monica Whittington -- share their songs, virtuosic playing and ringing harmony touching our sense of resilience, hope, and community.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
