Leah Song is a storyteller, song-catcher, and cultural bridge-builder, best known as the frontwoman of Rising Appalachia alongside her sister. As a soloist, Leah incorporates sultry vocals, plays claw-hammer banjo, bodhrán, and guitar, and is a keeper of both traditional and contemporary songs. For over two decades, she has carried her voice across borders, blending Appalachian folk and global roots music into songs that honor both land and lineage. Her repertoire includes Southern folk, old-world balladry, and Appalachian traditionals.

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.
