Rising Appalachia, a four piece from New Orleans, Louisiana has just released Wider Circles. This release connects with Earth Day, Wednesday April 22. The band strings together a beautiful acoustic patchwork of world, folk and progressive rock.
Wider Circles is a soothing mix of world rhythms, big beats, polished vocals and universal appeal. Rising Appalachia delivers a listening experience that tours around the globe and through time.
