Leah Song is a storyteller, song-catcher, and cultural bridge-builder best known for her role as the frontwoman of Rising Appalachia alongside her sister, Chloe.

For over two decades, she has carried her voice across borders, blending Appalachian folk and global roots traditions into songs that honor both land and lineage. Her repertoire includes Southern soul, old-world balladry, and Appalachian traditional music.

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, Sobonfu Somé, and many others.

She is joined on stage by Duncan Wickel—fiddler, cellist, and longtime bandmate from Rising Appalachia. Together, their performances become communal gatherings where people reconnect with the earth, one another, and the old songs that have carried humanity through every season of life.
