Lua Flora
 
Creating in a state of constant adventure, Asheville, NC-based Lua Flora has successfully unified sounds that typically don’t go together.  Led by songwriter Evan Button, the “roots pop” act seamlessly blends Americana, pop, and indie folk with Caribbean and West African influences. In four quick years, the quartet has gone from backyard parties to national stages across the U.S. supporting Satsang, Franc Moody, Arise Roots, Of Good Nature, and Kendall Street Company in addition to festival appearances at Rooster Walk, Shakori Hills, Front Porch Fest, Kentucky Yoga Festival, Between the Trails, and others.
 
Wim Tapley 

 
Based in Athens, Georgia, Wim Tapley came of age playing shows in Washington D.C. where he honed his voice with the passion of a born troubadour.

Since 2021, Wim and his live band The Cannons have called Athens home. His first week in Georgia, he made his way onto a local bill, etching a name for himself as a fresh and favorite hometown voice. He is ardently received by his ever-growing following at legendary venues like Eddie’s Attic and the Georgia Theatre, along with tours across the East Coast.

Firmly rooted in Americana and dashed with catchy pop sensibilities, the swinging depths of neo-soul, and a sprinkling of riotous horns, Wim’s arresting sound is as fresh as it is ageless, as fevered as it is raucous fun. A sonic westward expansion of fuzzed-out guitars, saloon pianos, defiant horns, and dusty vocals, his discography blazes a new take on folk and soul while honoring the songwriting giants that paved the way before him like Jason Isbell, Bill Withers, and Chris Stapleton.
