About Rising Appalachia

Eschewing established industry norms, Leah and Chloe Smith, the two sisters behind Rising Appalachia, have followed invitation and intuition to independently forge their own path.

Based between Southern Appalachia and New Orleans, the sisters work with an array of international musicians. The band incorporates everything from simple harmonics using banjos and fiddles to playing a wide variety of drums, kalimbas, beatbox, djembe, baliphone, congas, didgeridoo, tablas, spoons, and washboard creating a full mix of world, folk, and soul music.
