Harpeth Rising UK tour

Harpeth Rising will returning for their third UK tour this August and September. Previous UK tours have included performances at the Cambridge Folk Festival, a groundbreaking collaboration with the Bath Philharmonia at the Frome Festival, and many sold out concerts throughout England. Some of the highlights of their upcoming tour include The Green Note in London, the Fylde Folk Festival, the Rook Lane Arts Center in Frome, and the Purbeck Folk Festival.

'Voted 'Best Local Band in Nashville' by the Tennessean, the four classically trained musicians of Harpeth Rising bring an exciting and distinctively new sound to the folk genre. With a banjo and a fiddle, you might think they're traditional bluegrass - but think again. Cello and hand drums round out the ensemble, creating a truly unique sound. '

'A little bit bluegrass, a little bit classical, a little bit folk and a whole lot of original, Harpeth Rising is a band to watch. '
