The live experience
What reaches the room
House of the Rising Sun brings a storied chapter of American folk tradition into the modern concert experience. The track originated as an Appalachian folk tune collected by researchers of American roots music and became a landmark hit for The Animals in 1964, a release that helped push folk into folk-rock and played a pivotal role in the British Invasion era. This performer page covers the enduring legacy, dynamic discography references, and fresh touring opportunities for fans in the city, and beyond.
