SATURDAY SHOW
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.

Folk Choir Master Class
Global Sound & Movement
Leah Song’s vocal workshops explore sound vibration and body movement as tools for self-awareness and sound. The space is created to help each participant to embody the physical art of making sound from all the many resonators in the body.
This workshop utilizes the expressions through movement and music using a variety of techniques including vocal contact improv, creative sound improvisations, group harmonics, singing techniques and movement (drawing upon yoga, contact improv, martial arts, and modern dance).
Come join our growing Folk Choir and learn to create your own sound palate.
