Grassroots

"Wider Circles" is the newest album from Rising Appalachia. With influences of folk, soul, roots, world music, and poetry, the album showcases the alchemy of sibling harmonies paired with banjo and fiddle duets. The album was inspired by folk standards and traditional hymns, old mountain odes, and activist anthems that pull equally from the swampy sounds of the bayou, the twang of the Appalachian mountains, and the beat of a global rhythm.

ON THE VERGE

Manifesto

We are living in some powerful times, with many different perspectives on what is happening and where we are going as a planet. 

Beautiful Mystery is a calling to humanity, to embrace the unknown as beautiful, powerful and benevolent. It's the framework that the direction we are going in can be what we choose it to be. That we can co-create together, as a greater community, guided by something much larger than ourselves. 

This a prayer for humanity to open its heart wider and embrace the global village. This is a prayer for our greater tribe of earth stewards to rise up and lead the way home. This a prayer for the deepest honoring and protection of the sacred. This is a prayer for universal harmony & the great remembrance to sweep across the earth. 

Many of these songs could have been birthed out of standing rock, yet were sewn over the last 3.5 years. Arriving in divine timing to continue to tell the story of our greater movement and support the rise of the peaceful warrior nation. May all who hold the earth as sacred come together in unity. May we stand as one people. May the prophecies be fulfilled. May we return to the one world tree that Black Elk spoke of and enter into the beautiful mystery...

85% of this album's songs were originally conceived when I was in my last project Suns of the Earth (ALOKA, Elah Scott & Duke Mushroom aka Tete Bero). I want to acknowledge these beautiful medicine brothers for being part of a profound chapter in this unfolding story, as original co-creators of these songs; as we release the old, and fully birth the new out into the world. 

Deep bows to all of you change makers, artists & way showers out there doing the good work and contributing to making this world a better place. I see you, I honor you, I walk with you, I love you and I support you.

Coming Home - Feat Jesse Johnson

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.
