Rising Earth is an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York. Upon his return to New York from environmental activism in the South Pacific, songwriter Juan Lee (formerly of Parking Lot B and Atmos) joined forces with artist and bassist Troy Franz to form the skeleton to what would become Rising Earth. The duo orchestrated the tracks for their debut release Sunset at the Shoe Parlour at their brownstone in Sunset Park, Brooklyn from March until November of 2010.

Sunset at the Shoe Parlour is a concept album written by Juan Lee centered around the devil's study of humanity throughout time and space in order to find the true soul of the anti-christ. It consists of thirteen tracks that are split into 3 acts, giving the album the structure of a play with few musical breaks between songs. Sunset at the Shoe Parlour maintains a psychedelic vibe coupled with a grunge driven dynamical element which accompanies story telling and versatile abrasive vocals. Jesse Schobel (drums) and Juan Lee produced the album out of a private recording studio in St. Louis, Missouri from December 2010 until January 2011. Nick Schlueter added piano and addition keys to the recordings before it's release on March 21, 2011.

The album with met with mixed reviews. Fans reveled in the eclectic and unique musical movements, while critics dismissed the work largely due to lack of commercial appeal.

Currently, Rising Earth is writing their sophomore release,rumoured to be titled Enjoy Your Time. The work is scheduled to be recorded during the summer of 2012 and available for release sometime in fall, 2012.
