Rising Appalachia

Rising Appalachia is an American Appalachian folk music group, led by multi-instrumentalist sisters Leah Song and Chloe Smith. Their music is deeply rooted in the landscapes of Atlanta, New Orleans, and the southern Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia. What distinguishes Rising Appalachia is their ability to blend a diverse range of instruments and styles. Their musical palette spans from sister harmonies, ballads, banjos, fiddle, cello, upright bass, baritone guitar, djembe and world percussion. This distinctive combination gives rise to a musical mosaic that seamlessly interweaves elements of Americana, world, folk, and soul music. The essence of Rising Appalachia's uniqueness lies in their nonconformity to the mainstream music industry. From the outset, the project was a labor of love for the Smith sisters, who independently managed and financed their music. Their musical journey began with an intimate gesture—a gift of music for their close circle. The unexpectedly positive reception spurred them to establish Rising Appalachia as a musical force.
