PaoliFest is a FREE music and art festival set in the foothills of Southern Indiana. It is an invitation to create community through extraordinary performances, collaborative art-making, and transformative experiences in the small town of Paoli, Indiana.  

From Paoli, Indiana to Siem Reap, Cambodia, and many places in between, Harpeth Rising have brought their original music to hungry audiences for ten years. A rich combination of cultural influences and musical styles, they call their craft “Chamberfolk”, paying homage to both the intricacy of chamber music and the intimacy of lyricism. Their performances can move from a whisper to a revolution in the snap of a finger, driven by three part harmonies, banjo grooves and powerful strings.  “One of a kind, in a class by itself and simply superlative throughout. Miss out on this at your own risk. ” — Chris Spector, Midwest Record Chamberfolk: Three classically trained musicians playing original music, as intricately arranged as a string quartet, lyrically rooted in the singer/songwriter tradition, and wrapped in three-part vocal harmonies reminiscent of both Appalachia and Medieval Europe. Building from the tonal depth of the cello (or is it a bass?), layer in the shimmering sounds of a violin and the strikingly natural addition of banjo to create a sound at once familiar and impossible to categorize. Unapologetic genre-benders, Harpeth Rising fuses Folk, Newgrass, Rock and Classical into something organically unique.
