Jordana Greenberg (violin\, vocals)\, Rebecca Reed-Lunn (banjo\, vocals) and Maria Di Meglio (cello\, vocals) are unapologetic genre-benders\, they fuse Folk\, Newgrass\, Rock and Classical into a sound that is organically unique.\n\n\n\nAfter meeting at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music\, where all three members earned performance degrees\, Harpeth Rising began on a cross-country road trip. Inspired by a summer spent jamming at campsites and attending folk and bluegrass festivals\, Greenberg (violin) and Reed-Lunn (banjo) decided to pursue a slightly different path than their classical backgrounds would suggest. They began writing original songs and performing 4 to 5 nights a week\, developing their sound and their repertoire. It was with the addition of Di Meglio (cello) that the lineup was complete\, and the three women piled into a Prius and began to tour.\n\n\n\nDespite the presence of only three string instruments on stage\, Harpeth Rising produces a profusion of sound generally created by a much larger ensemble. Di Meglio transitions fluidly between providing the bass line and taking the melodic lead\, while Reed-Lunn's highly original style of claw hammer banjo learned mainly by watching YouTube is both surprisingly lyrical and intensely driving. Greenberg takes on the role of concert violinist and accompanist with equal facility\, and ensures that a lead guitar is never missed.\n\n\n\nFrom breathtaking energy to intimate connection\, their live performances are kinetic events in which their passion and their abilities are equally displayed. Harpeth Rising can create a listening room from a rowdy bar crowd\, and can inspire even the weariest of audiences. After only a few months as a band\, they embarked on tour of England\, which included a performance with The Bath Philharmonia. They were invited to perform at The Cambridge Folk Festival the following summer\, and have since played festivals across England and the United States\, including The Kerrville Folk Festival\, ROMPfest\, Blissfest\, The Fylde Folk Festival\, The Purbeck Folk Festival and dozens more. Building their fan base in the tradition of all wandering minstrels - passionately and by word-of-mouth - they now perform to sold-out audience internationally.\n\n\n\nThey have released four albums in as many years Harpeth Rising (2010)\, Dead Man's Hand (2011)\, The End of the World (2012)\, a collaboration with master wordsmith David Greenberg (Jordana's father)\, and Tales From Jackson Bridge\, (2013). Their fifth album\, Shifted\, is set to release in 2015.
