ARISE Music Festival

Known throughout the world as the musical ambassadors to the realm of Faerie, Woodland have created a worldwide movement around their mythic songcraft and immersive live concert experiences. Whether through their various musical and artistic projects with UK Faerie artist Brian Froud, or their co-creation of live events like Faerieworlds, Woodland has devoted their career to the mythic and the magical, and to creating an experience of beauty and wonder for their listeners.

Woodland founders Emilio and Kelly Miller-Lopez, provide lush harmonies to a soundscape of diverse instruments, an orphic orchestra of harp, cello, guitar, bass, drums, piano, didgeridoo and overtone flutes. Live, the band blends this variety of folk and electric instrumentation, combining ambient, acoustic and psychedelic to produce a powerful and enchanting concert experience. The songs of Woodland are not mere catchy lyricism, but are each poetic explorations of profound mythic concepts, bardic visions, as worthy of being read from the page as sung through the air.
