Rising Appalachia’s website describes their music as “community building through sound.” True to their word, the band, fronted by sisters Leah Song and Chloe Smith, embrace what they call the “Slow Music Movement,” trading buses and hotels for touring by train and lodging with locals. It seems to be working. The troubadours have taken their folk- and world-music-inspired show across the United States and all the way to Europe, the Caribbean and Central America; and they’ve been featured on National Public Radio and recognized by the Huffington Post. The southern-born siblings are at the center of a mini festival at Willow Crossing Farm with selections from Wider Circles.
