Sisters Leah and Chloe Smith founded Rising Appalachia on their back porch in Georgia,
playing simple fiddle and banjo melodies and leaning into their families rich musical
traditions. It has since become a globally recognized Americana and world folk
ense
mble, celebrating a unique blend of Southern
-
rooted music, storytelling, and
community. The band features David Brown (bass, guitar), Duncan Wickel (fiddle, cello),
and Biko Casini (percussion), and infuses music with a unique tapestry of Appalachian,
Iris
h and traditional influence but stays connected to simple songwriting. Rising
Appalachia has captivated audiences for nearly 2 decades, from busking in New
Orleans to touring Europe, and has been featured at prestigious venues like Red Rocks,
Telluride Blu
egrass Festival and Woodford Folk Fest. Their performances at NPR's Tiny
Desk and Preservation Jazz Hall have solidified their status in the folk music scene.
Breaking industry norms, the band's approach to music is as much an artistic statement
as it is a
movement, culminating in their newest album, 'Folk and Anchor' a carefully
curated collection of cover songs. This project includes remakes from Bob Dylan to
James Blake, Erykah Badu to Beyonce and showcases their eclectic style, inviting
listeners into a
rich musical journey.
