RISING APPALACHIA

On a foundation of spoken word, scats and singing, sisters Leah and Chloe create a form of Southern folk that’s wrapped in soulful harmonizing, New Orleans mysticism and the echoes of Appalachia. The music is sparse, where the guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass or percussion weaves in and out of and around their voices. The duo is joined by a group of eclectic troubadours and characters, circus artists and percussionists instilling a cozy feel of Earthy vibes. It’s the trancelike vocalization and harmonizing that stamps their unique sound. The duo’s Southern roots are marked with poignant tales that are intermingled with Americana, where the songs are traditional and global all rolled into a whole. (Samir Shukla)
