An album with Americana feel, Dead Man’s Hand by Bowling Green based band Harpeth Rising mixes folk with Bluegrass, and throws in a bit of jazz for kicks. To top it all off, the vocals are as haunting as they are beautiful.

The album is rich in instrumental talent, and the lyrics are nothing to take lightly.  Harpeth Rising may be composed of young members, but they are musicians that are deeply talented and classically trained.  Dead Man’s Hand will appeal to both traditional Bluegrass fans, as well as those looking for something with a more modern feel. They are, as one radio described a true “American sensation” and they will be a musical force to be reckoned with in the future.
