Appalachia Rising brings together two powerhouse voices in modern mountain music for an evening that celebrates the heart, history, and living spirit of our region. This special event pairs the Grammy‑winning Tim O’Brien Band with the high‑energy, old‑time‑rooted sound of Leftover Biscuits, creating a night that bridges generations and showcases the depth of Appalachian musical heritage.
A West Virginia native, Tim O’Brien has long been recognized as one of the most influential songwriters and multi‑instrumentalists in American roots music. With his warm tenor voice, masterful musicianship, and deep respect for tradition, O’Brien carries forward the storytelling spirit that defines the mountains. His band brings a rich blend of bluegrass, folk, and acoustic innovation that feels both timeless and fresh.
Opening the evening, Leftover Biscuits deliver the kind of foot‑stomping, front‑porch energy that has always belonged at the Fold. Their sound is steeped in old‑time fiddle tunes, tight harmonies, and the joyful drive of community music made by hand and heart.
Together, these artists embody what Appalachia Rising stands for — honoring the past while lifting the music forward for a new generation. It’s a night of songs, stories, and shared heritage in the place where Appalachian music lives on.
