about
Rising Appalachia is an American musical group led by multi-instrumentalist sisters Leah Smith and Chloe Smith. The group brings to the world new sounds, stories, and songs collected across oceans and originally sculpted to embody our human journey, our global community, and the treasures and troves of soul harmony. Listen to their beautiful sound for poetic harmonies, soul singing, spoken word rallies, banjos, fiddles, organic bass and groove rhythms, and community building through SOUND. With an array of incredible collaborators, they are joined by everything from jazz trumpet to beat boxing, Afro-cuban percussion to Appalachian fiddlers, poets to burlesque and circus art as their style redefines performance using sound as a tool to spark a cultural revolution and birth a new movement of unity and healing. Having toured across the United States and graced many stages around the world, Rising Appalachia’s vision and sound is contagious to everyone it touches. Their shows have included an array of community-run venues and collective events, as well as the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, National Public Radio All Songs Considered, Georgia Public Broadcasting, The School of Americas Vigil, Nunez Arts Festival New Orleans, Emory University Schwartz Center, The Floyd Festival, Burning Man, Envision Festival, The Naropa Institute, The Beacon Theater NYC, The Lake Eden Arts Festival, Radio Popular Italy, Guerilla Radio Amsterdam, The Edinburgh and New Orleans Fringe Festival, Th
