FT. Rising Appalachia
Busker's Corner is a series of performances by Western North Carolina musicians in nature settings that were devastated by Hurricane Helene.
Reflections from Leah Song of Rising Appalachia:
“Winter solstice, after Hurricane Helene. In celebration of the darkest night of the year, and the place where this quiet earth stores all her energy in preparation for turning towards the light, we sing this song on the cold forest floor, surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of trees felled like matchsticks by the recent storms. It’s a love song, and a lament, for this wild ground around us…it’s ravage and it’s regrowth.”
