PERFORMERS:
Rising Appalachia – Hailing from New Orleans, sisters Leah and Chloe of Rising Appalachia Music bring their merry band of music makers to Los Angeles, including poetic harmonies, soul singing, banjos, fiddles, drums, kalimbas, washboard rants, groove, and community-building through SOUND. “The sibling harmonies are almost too beautiful to bear. Then, you’ve got banjo, acoustic guitar, upright bass, hand percussion, maybe some beatboxing. It’s a deep contemporary groove pancultural, Modern Primitive, festival-friendly closer to Afro-Cuban and hip-hop than Woody Guthrie, but of course Rising Appalachia’s hellbent on killing fascists, too.” MUST SEE NEW SCHOOLERS – SFWEEKLY 9/30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqaMQirDOss http://www.risingappalachia.com/
