Since their formation in 2009, Harpeth Rising has been building a reputation by breaking down musical boundaries. Their virtuosic instrumentals of banjo and violin mixed with cello and foot percussion create an exciting and unique blend of musical genres that include folk, rock, bluegrass, and roots music. Their original lyrics, conveyed through powerful three-part vocals, are both gritty and poignant. The all-female group met while studying classical music at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and were united - and continue to be driven by - their eclectic musical interests. Within one year of their formation and their move to Music City, they were voted 'Best Local Band in Nashville' by the Tennessean. Harpeth Rising has been touring both nationally and internationally for four years with performances that include the Kerrville Folk Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, London Folk Festival, Blissfest, Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour, Music City Roots, The Bluebird, and ROMP Music Festival.

Harpeth Rising released their fourth album, 'Tales From Jackson Bridge,' in October of 2013, and it reached No. 6 on the Folk DJ Charts the same month and No. 15 on the EuroAmericana Charts the following March. The album brings a fresh and modern take on old genres of music with a great deal of attitude. While 'Tales From Jackson Bridge' remains true to Harpeth Rising's folk and classical roots throughout, it expands on their blues, Latin, and rock influences and adds in some new flavors such as Texas Swing and Gypsy Jazz. This constant innovation combining old and new genres of music, technical mastery, and heartfelt sensibility has earned Harpeth Rising the distinction of one of the most engaging and dynamic new groups in folk music today. The album has been named on the Americana Radio Top Five Most Added List, the Roots Music Report's Top Forty, Alternate Root's Top Ten Songs of the Week, and Amazon's Top Twenty Hot New Releases in Roots Rock. Harpeth Rising's previous albums, 'The End of the World,' 'Dead Man's Hand,' and their eponymous debut album, have landed them in the Top Ten on the International Folk Charts, on numerous Best-of lists, and garnered praise throughout the US and the UK.

The trio will be returning to Knoxville to perform at Boyd's Jig & Reel on August 23rd at 10pm. The concert is part of the Jig & Reel's Third Anniversary Weekend celebration. Located at 101 S Central Street, Boyd's Jig and Reel is committed to showcasing lively, Celtic and Appalachian influenced music in a fun, community atmosphere. Admission is $5.
