Rising Appalachia (RisingApp) hits the speakeasy in the new video for Cuckoo
Rising Appalachia hits the speakeasy in the new video for its track "Cuckoo," premiering onexclusively today , and the Americana sextet hopes it can be a perception changer about its home region.that "my sister [Chloe] and I have spent the last 10-plus years of our chosen career really wanting to tell our version of a very ornate south that is vastly diverse and mystical and magical -- and not what I think is the stereotypical delivery of the southern story.
Filmed at a friend's studio and speakeasy space in Asheville, N.C., the "Cuckoo," features Rising Appalachia playing and surrounded by a colorful cast of hip characters -- played by real friends of the group, including artists, dancers, herbalists and even a dog.
"Our mom's deepest passion in the world is to really know and learn the traditions of music in this region," Leah Song explains. "We grew up between those two worlds: the vibrancy and diversity and the real cultural richness of the city as well as the beauty and magic of the rural south.
"We've always been open, creatively," Leah Song says. "We never took a traditional approach. We never signed to a record label -- we considered it and talked to some labels but just decided to keep it much more non-traditional and a much more self-managed process. We're a little bit out of the boundaries of the more traditional music industry, I think, and that's something that's deeply important to us.
