EARLVILLE – The Earlville Opera House welcomes Americana genre-benders Harpeth Rising as they fuse folk, newgrass, rock and classical into a sound that is organically unique. Show time is 8 p.m. Friday, March 25. The band is touring in support of their latest CD, “Shifted.”
Harpeth Rising is Jordana Greenberg (violin, vocals), Rebecca Reed-Lunn (banjo, vocals) and Maria Di Meglio (cello, vocals). Hallmarks of their music include expansive three-part harmonies, consummate musicianship and a deft, yet soulful lyrical perspective.
Harpeth Rising’s roots run deep – from their varied ancestry across eastern Europe to the musical hotbed of the mid-south they now call home.
“In what the group calls ‘chambergrass,’ the musicians blend improvisatory-feeling jazzy sections with newgrass, classical and folk. Varied, alternating blocks fold in syncopated rhythms, simple folk melodies and complex harmonies.
