Lua Flora: The Musical Embodiment of Asheville’s Creative Spirit By Ty Johnson Asheville, North Carolina’s vibrant culture comes to life through intricate art scenes and historic architecture. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the city boasts an impressive downtown art district filled with galleries and museums. One of Thrillist’s “America’s Twelve Greatest Music Cities”, Asheville regularly produces stars in the music industry. Roberta Flack, Luke Combs, and Chase Rice are some examples of the extraordinary locally raised talent. While the road has been paved, there currently exists a new wave of talent eager to display their artistic visions and expressions to the world. Lua Flora is riding that wave and endeavors to do just that. Their music combines backgrounds of bluegrass and classical music and is also inspired by the likes of Steel Pulse and Culture. The group already shows great experience and chemistry with the promise of deepening connection and success in the years to come. While Lua Flora gears up for more shows in the fall, they will also release singles throughout the year, including “Little Butterfly”—their most recent single available now via streaming platforms.
