Lua Flora with Ross Adams and The Brothers GillespieLua Flora
Lua Flora is the soundtrack of your favorite daydream. The Asheville, NC-based group’s sun-kissed melodies are rooted in the harmonies of Appalachia, rhythms of the West Indies, and lyricism of American folk. Live, the band allures listeners with gut-punching jams weaved between powerful lyrics. Lua Flora has supported Satsang, Franc Moody, Of Good Nature, Kendall Street Company, and more.

Ross Adams
Ross Adams is a North Carolina native who laid his musical roots in Charlotte, N.C. around 2012. Adams fascination with the Greenwich Village folk scene in the 60’s led to his passion to follow music and songwriting. Naturally from the lure of words and music, Ross developed intricate stories into his songwriting that fell into his heavily influenced Folk/ Rock/ Americana circuit of instrumentation, as his first two albums “1952” and “Songs from an Ancient Terrace” illustrate.
Ross just finished up his third studio album “Escaping Southern Heat” in Muscle Shoals, Alabama this past year. Adams had the pleasure of working with Jason Isbell’s 400 unit as his backing band for the record, with bassist Jimbo Hart producing. Ross created a collection of songs for this record that he describes raw and very personal. The album is scheduled to be released September 10thof this year.

The Brothers Gillespie
The Brothers have always had an interest in music, playing any and every instrument they could find. In 2015 things came to a head. After singer/songwriter Davis Gillespie returned from a semester at the University of Tennessee with a handful of songs, the other brothers (drummer Clay Gillespie and lead guitar Aaron Gillespie) set to work on actually crafting a set list "just in case" someone called up one day in need of a band.
To their surprise, people did end up calling, and The Brothers Gillespie started playing hometown shows in Waynesville, North Carolina. There they came in to their own playing a blend of rock, country, folk, and alternative music they dub “Slacker Country”. After a couple years of successful area shows, The Brothers took a year sabbatical in Johnson City, Tennessee, where they honed their craft, took up a residency at nearby landmark Capone’s, toured the region, and recorded their seminal album “Love & Death”.
Now The Brothers return home to reunite with bass player and “fourth brother” Zack Edwards and tour the South East bringing their own brand of Slacker Country to the masses.
