Lua Flora and Wild Roots Rising put on an amazing show at the Flat Iron in Greensboro, NC.
Wild Roots Rising is an indie folk band based in the Southeast United States. Led by songwriters, vocalists, and instrumentalists Julia Houghton and Olivia Moore, their music is a classical-folk fusion featuring unique arrangements and complex harmonies, complemented by acoustic instruments and meaningful lyrics. Since they began, they have performed at festivals, music venues, and bars throughout the Southeast. They use their stage to foster discussion on current issues, such as envrionmentalist and social justice, aiming to create positive change in the world while staying true to themselves in their work.
Asheville, NC-based Lua Flora has successfully unified sounds that typically don’t blend. The electrifying passion and introspective lyrics of songwriter Evan Button meet a mesmerizing blend of Caribbean, Eastern, and American music to create a previously undefined genre: “Beach Folk.” This cultural phenomenon lends itself to easy listening, from the perfect barrels of the Pacific Ocean to the hollers of Appalachia.
