The Leah Song Project
Press Kit
Bio.
Leah Song is a storyteller, song-catcher, and cultural bridge-builder best known for her role as front-woman of Rising Appalachia, alongside her sister Chloe. For over two decades, she has carried her voice across borders blending Appalachian folk, Celtic balladry, and global roots traditions into songs that honor both land and lineage. Her repertoire includes Southern soul, Spanish boleros, Irish ballads and Appalachian anthems.
Leah has studied and worked alongside some of the greatest culture keepers of our time including Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Bobby McFerrin, Martin Hayes, Martin Shaw, Joanna Macy, Sobunfu Some, and more. She is joined on stage by Duncan Wickel — fiddler, cellist, and longtime bandmate from Rising Appalachia. Their shows are communal gatherings where people remember their connection to the earth, each other, and the old songs that have carried us through every season of being human.

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.
