Harpeth Rising CD Release Show
Voted 'Best Local Band in Nashville' by the Tennessean, the four classically trained musicians of Harpeth Rising bring an exciting and distinctively new sound to the folk genre on violin, banjo, cello, percussion, and vocals. The quartet's 'Tales From Jackson Bridge' CD Release Tour will take them to Lisle, IL for a free concert at the Lisle Public Library (Meeting Room A/B) on October 22nd. While this album remains true to Harpeth Rising's folk, bluegrass and classical roots throughout, it expands on their blues, Latin, and rock influences and adds in some new flavors such as Texas Swing and Gypsy Jazz. This constant innovation combining old and new genres of music, technical mastery, and heartfelt sensibility has earned Harpeth Rising the distinction of one of the most engaging and dynamic new groups in folk music today. Harpeth Rising's previous performances include the Cambridge Folk Festival, The London Folk Festival, The Bluebird, Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour, The Frome Festival, Music City Roots, and ROMP Music Festival.
