Misty River distinguished itself in the up-and-coming acoustic Americana
market with compelling harmonic vocals backed by fresh acoustic
arrangements. Misty River’s debut album, Rising, continues to receive
widespread national and international airplay since its release in June
2000, and independent music stores report Rising as one of their top-selling
albums.

Showcasing the budding songwriting talent of its members, Rising is a
beautiful, introspective collection of original and traditional songs, as
well as songs by some of Misty River’s favorite writers (Tom Paxton, Townes
Van Zandt, Dale Adkins and William Cook). Guest artists include mandolin
extraordinaire John Reischman and bass virtuoso Glen Moore.

Reviews of Rising speak to its appeal:
“This music is heavily steeped in the bluegrass, folk and country
traditions. But there’s also a modern edge which resembles the neo-bluegrass
style of Alison Krauss or EmmyLou Harris.”-Minor7th.com (Acoustic Guitar’s
Webzine)

“If you are in the mood for something outside the bluegrass mainstream, you
could hardly do better than this very attractive album….The four women are
excellent singers and their voices blend like milk and honey.”-Bluegrass
Unlimited Magazine

“When these four women weave their lovely harmonies, it is spine
 tingling.”-Jeff Douglas, Oregon Public Broadcasting-TV
