Harpeth Rising

Three classically trained musicians playing original music, as intricately arranged as a string quartet, lyrically rooted in the singer/songwriter tradition, and wrapped in three-part vocal harmonies reminiscent of both Appalachia and Medieval Europe. Building from the tonal depth of the cello (or is it a bass?), layer in the shimmer sounds of a violin and the strikingly natural addition of banjo to create a sound at once familiar and impossible to categorize. Unapologetic genre-benders, Harpeth Rising fuses Folk, Newgrass, Rock and Classical into something organically unique. They also proudly play the Farmer StompDrum and DownBeat nearly every night.

Their most recent album, SHIFTED, debuted at #1 on the Folk-DJ charts and was released to international acclaim. They are busy touring full-time, performing on national and international stages, including performing original music at the closing night of Kerrville Folk Festival, accompanied by the Symphony of the Hills Orchestra, conducted by David Amram.
