About
Born in Georgia, raised between hiphop and Appalachian folk
music, and exploring the wide range of musical traditions across the globe
through dusty suitcase travel, Rising Appalachia puts a unique stamp on the
ears. Sisters Leah and Chloe tear into sound with sensual prowess as stages
ingnite revolutions and words light soul fires. They bring poetic voices in
divine harmonies, spoken word rallies, banjos, fiddles, many beats of many
drums, kalimbas, spoons, washboard rants, and waves of bridge buildings... With
an array of incredible collaborations, they are joined by everything from the
stand up bass to the jazz trumpet, baliphone, congas, didgeridoo, tablas,
beatboxing, poets, trapeze, burlesque, and more as their style branches out to
form entirely new ways to make the stage electric...
Using sound as a tool to ignite a cultural revolution and
birth a whole new movement, join Leah and Chloe to create our own art media in
the making....
