NEW SINGLE, HARMONIZE, OUT TODAY !! ⁣
(Link In Bio) ⁣
⁣
We release a new single to you lovers today, with the announce that our full album, Leylines, will be out May 3rd. ⁣
This is a love song. ⁣
But it’s really about being in harmony⁣
with ones self, ⁣
bringing full throttle honesty to the table, to another persons voracious appetite,⁣
so that you don’t get lost in the mix of the psychedelic upheaval that is love. ⁣
This song is about offering truth, ⁣
about asking questions, ⁣
about bringing ritual back into the devotional process of amor. ⁣
It is laying bits of metal and silver and moonlight at the feet of your beloved, like the bower bird in the forest. ⁣
Courtship as a rite of passage. ⁣
It demands that we are awake for one another. ⁣
Awake means alive. ⁣
Awake means listening. ⁣
Awake means on fire. ⁣
Awake means fully moved. ⁣
⁣

Make art like you make love. ⁣
Fully attentive and awake,⁣

Breaks in between divine moments.⁣
Head lifted to the heavens.⁣

Offerings from our hearts to yours, comin this Thursday.⁣

❤️🌹🏹

There are a thousand ways to love :
Love of place
Love of spirit
Love of scent
Love of partner, love of village, love of family, love of purpose.
Sensual love, platonic love, twin flame love, the love of your closest kin. Love of a father in his death bed, love of an unseen homeland, love that makes you ache so hard you can feel it in your teeth, love that makes you soar, love as a drug, an addiction, a bad habit, love that withers away over time, love that strengthens and fortifies under pressure, love that ages like fine red wine.

Seems weird to post a love homage with this photo of our band? Yeah, we’re nerdy like that.
This is our marriage, our family, and our kin more than anything. These are the ones we signed our soul contract with.

And this week in homage of St Valentine, the hallmark week of red roses and cheesy love sonnets, Eve Enslers V-day tribute to the heart of the woman, and everything else pending on this week of fashiona

We are unbelievably excited about making our FIRST pilgrimage to the potent lands of South America as a full band!! Many many more things to announce ASAP (including limericks in Spanish, 101 questions about the land, the Andean traditions , the Incas, the Peruvian pan flutes, tips on mate drinking, high altitude hikes, the songs to sing, the spirit of the land, where to get horses, alpacas, etc...) but for starters we wanted to tip our hat to this incredible gang that is welcoming us into the Sacred Valley to spend a week in deep cultural immersion, musical exchange, indigenous studies, and powerful inter-cultural, inter-generational deepening.

What’s up, y’all ?
C’est moi, Chloe, younger sister born in the springtime of Georgia. Taurus through and through with some dabbles of Gemini and Capricorn up in there. Keeper of 10,000 scribbled-in-notebooks in all orfices of my bag and bookshelves. Writer of a hundred unreleased love songs, lol.
I am inspired by poets. I’m inspired the great calling that is art, most particularly art that moves and ignites movements...

I’ve never taken this work lightly because, quite honestly, I couldn’t. I had some supreme discomfort with the stage... with microphones... and with performance for years (insert thanks here to Leah, who would literally have to find ways to coax me onto stage). It made my stomach hurt and my head spin. I consider myself an introvert who likes people, just not necessarily thousands of them. But I remember reading somewhere something along the lines of “sometimes your calling is louder than your comfort”. Well, voil

“My name is Leah. Last name Smith. First born daughter. When my father began to call me “Leah Song” it’s stuck. I always knew I would make art. I painted, sculpted, studied pottery in college, stretched my own acrylic canvases, mixed my own hues.⁣⁣⁣
Carved stone. ⁣⁣⁣
Whittled sticks. ⁣⁣⁣
I sat in the darkroom in high school developing obscure negatives through the lens of my perspective. ⁣⁣⁣
Studied Art Brut, Basquiat, Gustav Klimt , Renee Rodin. Painted street murals. ⁣⁣⁣Fired kilns.
I never knew music would be the path the world would take me on... I mean, I knew it would be art, (Art is pretty much all I know how to do)
I knew I would be a rebel,
a poet of some sort,
and I would make things with my hands. ⁣⁣⁣
But when I took to the road as a disenchanted 19-year-old, packed a backpack and traveled across Mexico (and then Cuba, Guatemala,Costa Rica, Panama, India, Columbia, Italy, Ireland) ...I fell in love with the world again. ⁣⁣⁣
I picked up the banjo in

“My name is Duncan Wickel and I can’t begin to express how fortunate I feel to have played a part in the incredible story of Rising Appalachia for over a year now!  I must have been 11 or 12 years old when I first saw Leah & Chloe fire dancing as the sun came up during a summer folk-music camp in Swannanoa, NC. I couldn’t have imagined back then how much their creative power and grace would inspire me over the years and to this very day.  I just turned 30 a few weeks ago.  I’ve been a traveling musician since I was in my mid teens.  When I’m on the road I like to read, play instruments and sing in the van usually.  I love exploring cities by bicycle whenever possible because it allows one to easily stop and walk around when you see something interesting.  I also like writing music in my head while driving.  It’s a kind of meditation.  Leaving home for a while and returning

“It is a beautiful time to be alive. ⁣⁣
My name is Biko and I grew up in the rural South, in an intentional community in TN called “The Farm”. The land and waters of TN are my foundation. ⁣⁣Those waters have been the clear spring I have drawn from in dreaming what a better future could look like for all of us. ⁣⁣The many powerful communities of people I have met along the way hold a common thread: protecting and improving the places they call home....strengthening their foundations. ⁣⁣ Living in widening circles, I witness people braiding those common threads, interweaving common aims to establish resilient culture in a time of great social and ecological upheaval. ⁣⁣ My inspiration is constantly restored, though I know tough times may continue and intensify. ⁣⁣
⁣
I moved back to TN this past winter, to be nurtured by and nurture the land that raised me. To be a part of my mother and her peers journey into elderhood and beyond. To witness the children I saw as babies
