Sisters Leah Song and Chloe Smith create gorgeous harmonies with roots in folk and bluegrass and bits of music from around the world. Sheila and I sat in the Library Tent on this cool Thursday evening and soaked up the beauty of their 90 minute mix of songs and their stories of Rising Appalachia.
They started with a mesmerizing a cappella blending of Appalachian traditional song "Bright Morning Stars" with a Costa Rican Song, "Boktiwak"
Bright morning stars are rising…
Day is a breakin’ in my soul
Oh where are our dear mothers…
They’re down in the valley a’ singin’
Day is a breakin’ in my soul
Oh where are our dear fathers…
They’ve gone up to heaven a’ shoutin’
Day is a breakin’ in my soul
more later
