Available in:
Three member chamberfolk ensemble Harpeth Rising was led by violinist and songwriter Jordana Greenberg. Dubbed “some kind of wild old soul” (Midwest Record), Jordana has performed on five continents as a violinist and vocalist. She is a teaching artist at MYCincinnati, a free after school youth orchestra, and concertmaster of Queen City Opera. Jordana was born in Ontario, Canada and moved south in her childhood.
Cellist Maria Di Meglio was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. She was drawn to the music of her first generation Italian and Balkan roots and grew up learning Eastern European folk songs alongside classical repertoire.
Michelle Younger of Charlottesville, VA comes by her modern spin on old-time infused banjo authentically; her family has been in the United States for generations, and she is a descendent of Cole Younger, a member of the notable James-Younger Gang. Michelle replaced Rebecca Reed-Lunn who left the band to return to her native California. The band was based in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Harpeth Rising’s debut album—Dead Man's Hand (2011)— defined their “chamberfolk” sound and brought their music to wider, international audiences, followed by sophomore album The End Of The World (2012). The trio has toured full-time for several years and performed across the United States, Europe, Australia, and the UK. Each member of Harpeth Rising has a classical background and holds performance degrees from some of the most venerated music schools in the world, including Oberlin, Indiana University, and the Eastman School of Music. This history, however, is only one dimension of this group’s powerful musical voice. Hailing from vastly different parts of North America, each member of Harpeth Rising brings different influences to the band’s core sound. Hallmarks of their music include expansive three-part harmonies, consummate musicianship, and a deft—yet soulful—lyrical perspective.
The band went their separate ways in 2019. They were named for the Harpeth river which runs though Tennessee.
