SUMMARY:Rising Appalachia at Hamilton Performing Arts Center (Sold Out)
DESCRIPTION:Folk ensemble Rising Appalachia performs a (SOLD OUT) show at the Hamilton Performing Arts Center at 7:30 pm Saturday\, March 14\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\nAs world travelers for nearly two decades\, Chloe and Leah Smith have merged multiple global music influences with their own southern roots to create the international phenomenon that is Rising Appalachia.Rising Appalachia established its international fan base due to relentless touring\, tireless activism\, and no small degree of stubborn independence. Remarkably the band has built its legion of listeners independently — a self-made success story that has led to major festival appearances and sold-out shows at venues across the country. Rising Appalachia has toured British Columbia by sailboat\, traversed the U.S. and Europe by train\, and engaged in immersive cultural exchange programs in Bulgaria\, Ireland\, Southern Italy\, Central and South America – not to mention the countless miles in a van. Tour highlights include: Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco; Music Hall Williamsburg in Brooklyn\, New York; Boulder Theatre in Boulder\, Colorado; and the Showbox in Seattle\, Washington. The band consistently sells between 400 and 1500 tickets wherever they play\, a testament to their loyal fan base.Leah and Chloe consider performing to be just one component of a greater overall vision – one that includes advocating for social justice\, racial justice\, environmental justice\, and Indigenous rights.“Rising Appalachia has come out of this idea that we can take these traditions of southern music – that we’ve been born and raised with – and we can rise out of them\, creating all these different bridges between cultures and stories to make them feel alive.” Leah says. “Our music has its foundation in heritage and tradition\, but we’re creating a music that also feels reflective of the times right now. That’s always been our work.” \n\n\n\nWith only a handful of seats remaining for this show on March 14\, we anticipate creating a waiting list for tickets. If you are a BPAC season ticket holder and cannot attend\, please contact the BPAC Box Office to release your ticket. 406-363-7946. (We’ll send you a tax receipt for your in-kind donation) \n\n\n\nTHANKS in advance! Should be an amazing show! \n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS LINK (SOLD OUT) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Photography and video and audio recording are prohibited at all performances.* Please silence cellphones and other electronics for the duration of the performance.* No food or beverages are allowed in auditorium venues.* Possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages is strictly forbidden by law in our auditorium venues. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related
