GOING VIRAL WITH STAR SWAIN, 40 MILLION VIEWS, STORY & PERFORMANCE

  • TCC Center for Innovation 300 South Duval Street Tallahassee, FL, 32301 United States (map)

AT TCC CENTER FOR INNOVATION, DOWNTOWN. Star Swain entered the national spotlight when her compelling rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at the Lincoln Memorial went viral with more than 40 million views online. The impromptu performance stopped tourists in their tracks, became an internet and media sensation, and created opportunities nationally and worldwide. As we celebrate Startup Week Tallahassee, come hear Star's fascinating story, the opportunities it created, the lessons she learned, and her suggestions on how you might create and be ready for your special moment. Star will also tell us about Swain Maed, her non-profit to promote message music and performing arts while emphasizing the need for music and arts in education. And together let's make our own viral moment as Star sings her new release, WOMAN. Feel free to create and bring a sign (handmade is fine) with your name / biz / talent or message, along with #1City4WomenTally, and let's empower and highlight the amazing women of Tallahassee.
