The basis of Antigone Rising can be traced to the Henderson sisters, Cathy (lead guitar) and Kristen (bass guitar), raised on Long Island.  New Jersey based drummer, Dena Tauriello, has been a consistent, vital part of the band’s sound. The band has recently added Nini Camps, NY Singer/songwriter as their new lead singer (rhythm guitar.) They are heading into the studio to record new music to be released in 2010, followed by a touring schedule. The new lineup opened several northeast shows for The Bangles and recently played sellout shows in New York and Philly.

Adam Ezra considers himself an experientialist as much as a musician or songwriter. Whether it's living out of a van, farming in Canada, relief work in Kosovo, student in South Africa, kitchen hand or carpenter, teacher, lacrosse coach, or traveler, Adam manages to cram it all into the music, always challenging our perspective and often teetering somewhere between the ballsy rocker and sensitive poet. He currently resides in a cramped, poorly insulated basement in Somerville, MA and incessantly writes songs.
