Leah Song & Duncan Wickel (Rising Appalachia) @ VICTORIAN VALLEY CHAPEL Orcas Island

Leah Song: www.leahsongmusic.com

Join Leah Song and Duncan Wickel for an intimate evening of folk music and story. Touring as a duo, these longtime collaborators of Rising Appalachia bring a soulful blend of traditional Appalachian ballads, banjo and fiddle tunes, original compositions, and crowd favorites from their global Rising Appalachia catalogue. Together, they create a dynamic, intimate performance rooted in folk tradition and improvisational spirit.

Born into a musical family from Georgia, Leah Song is a storyteller, song-catcher, musician, poet, and community builder known primarily for her role as front-woman of Rising Appalachia, alongside her sister Chloe. As a soloist she incorporates sultry vocals, storytelling, folklore, ballads and boleros into her laid back troubadour performances. Her music is based in the traditions of Southern soul, the diasporic music of the Celtic Isles and her deep studies of traditional folk music from across the Americas . 

She has studied and worked alongside some of the greatest teachers and culture keepers of our time... including Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Bobby Mc Ferin, Martin Hayes, Martin Shaw, Joanna Macy, Winona LaDuke, Guadelupe Urbina, Sobunfu Some, and Rosemary Gladstar to name a few... Join her in gathering tools and teachings of resiliency, music, mythology, and celebration through sound.
