Not loving '90s R&B music is number 3 on the Oh No Nos list.

Tune out, and Tune in. Just for a moment.

My intention behind the music is much deeper than it ever was. I understand now, that I have been blessed with a gift. Now I am dedicated to developing this gift into a positive and powerful movement. I present sounds that offer healing and understanding. 
Soulful, Real, Quality, Emotionally stimulating, music you can relate to and vibe on. Just a little something to get you through, moment to moment. 

I produce most of my own sounds- using some loops, but many of my own. Originality is the key.

LOVE, LIGHT & INSPIRATION. BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!
~Lady A.

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 ensemble, 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, Irish 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 Bluegrass 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.
