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.
