Welcome! We are Kitcher & Rising, an acoustic music duo based in Austin, TX. Soon after we met, we realized how beautifully our voices blend together. With a heavy focus on vocal harmony, we share a sound that is intimate, sweet and nostalgic. Our setlist features a mix of 40's & 50's golden age classics, jazz standards, modern popular songs, and originals.

Rising studied classical piano for 12 years, sang and toured internationally with one of the nation's leading treble choirs for 7 years, and has performed with the LA Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Master Chorale, the Pasadena Symphony, and other ensembles at venues including the Hollywood Bowl and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. She now performs as a solo pianist and singer at venues across Austin.

Kitcher began playing private shows at the age of 15, led an a cappella group through high school, and sang competitively in college. He went on to study music production in Europe and the US before opening his own studio in Austin. He has recorded multiple EPs, garnered hundreds of thousands of views on his videos, and is currently working on a full-length album. 

Together Kitcher & Rising bring the special charm that can only be captured in duo performance. Their unique sound has been beloved at private events, senior communities, wine bars and more.
