CANCELLED: Rising Appalachia!

Tuesday Jun 30, 7PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)

WE JUST HEARD THAT Rising Appalachia's BUS BROKE DOWN IN BOSTON TODAY - THEY WON'T BE APPEARING AT 2640 TONIGHT....:(

Rising Appalachia is a duo of indie-freak-folk, old-time mountain tunes, fiddle banjo duets, experimental percussion, and piercing vocal harmonies.  Sisters Leah and Chloe Smith grew up in the bosom of the Southern Appalachian music renaissance.  Born to a fiddlin' mother and a folk-sculptor father, they were raised with old-time mountain melodies as their lullabies. But, having also grown up amidst the underground hip hop and spoken word movements of the urban South, the group has heavy influences in indie-folk, vintage jazz, political hip hop, and roots music from around the world.  Playing a fiddle and banjo, kalimba, boudrhan, djembe, snare, spoons, jawharp, washboard, and even the bones, the group Rising Appalachia offers a fresh, raw approach to a beautiful old tradition.  Sliding scale $5-$10 requested.  Hope to see you there!
