Rising Appalachia

@ Arthaven Gallery, Crosshaven, Co. Cork
Thursday 30th November @ 830pm
€12 including glass of vino
Singing Sisters, Leah and Chloe like a good bit of hootenanny and hoedowns that tickle the gizzards way down to their sultry inner depths...little bit of good boot stompin' fiddle banjo/tunes passed down from many a mountain hobo...
Leah and Chloe 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 melodies and contra dances as their lullabies long before mention of the sound tracks of Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Cold Mountain. With influences in everything from urban jazz and hip hop, to roots music from around the world, they have created a style that is truly their own. Now, as young women, they have coddled that same Appalachian tradition, and continued to shape it and help it grow through music and song. Their simple eerie banjo and fiddle tunes and effortless sister harmonies are compared to that of Hazel Dickens, Rosetta Tharpe and Gillian Welch. Having recently cut their debut self-titled album, Rising Appalachia, please join them in taking the world of music by storm! The more boot stompin' the merrier! Wooo Hooo!"
