The women of Antigone Rising, known for relentless grass roots touring, returns with new lead singer, Nini Camps. Founded by sisters Cathy & Kristen Henderson, Antigone Rising was catapulted into the spotlight in 2005 with their Starbucks/Hear Music/Lava Records debut release – “From the Ground Up.”

 

Nini Camps is a vocal force that holds her own in the musical landscape of Antigone Rising. Her voice blends perfectly with the signature-style vocal harmonies the band has become known for, while also adding her own unique sound. A first generation Cuban American, Camps originally hails from Miami, Florida. With the addition of Camps as lead singer, Antigone Rising continues to be known for their driving and vivacious live show, turning heads and gaining popularity with their poignant lyrics, catchy melodies and soaring three-part harmonies.
