OXFORD – Harpeth Rising is an unapologetic, genre-bending trio of women who fuse folk, newgrass, rock and classical music by combining the instrumental sounds of banjo, violin, cello and foot percussion.

On Saturday, Oct. 25 6 On The Square (6OTS) in conjunction with the Oxford Schools Music and Arts Boosters will present Harpeth Rising beginning at 7:30 p.m. The show will be held at the 6OTS, 6 LaFayette Park in downtown Oxford.

Harpeth Rising named themselves after a river, because they said “water is both dynamic and powerful.” The band is composed of three women– Jordana Greenberg on violin and vocals, Rebecca Reed-Lunn on banjo and vocals and Maria Di Meglio on cello and vocals.

Oxford community relations person Jeanie Peterson described their sound and said, “Hallmarks of their music include expansive three-part harmonies, consummate musicianship, and a deft yet soulful lyrical perspective, weaving together ancient and modern ideas.”
