Flowery Exposure was born in 2015, in the heart of the vibrant, bustling streets of New Orleans. The band was formed when lead singer, Jasmine Bloom, stumbled upon a group of street musicians playing their hearts out under a neon light. Their music was so powerful it stopped her in her tracks. She joined them, adding her soulful vocals to their raw, energetic performance, and from that night, Flowery Exposure came to life.
The band members include Jasmine Bloom, who lends the band its distinct vocal quality, Leo ‘Thorn’ Russo on the guitar, Blossom ‘Petal’ O’Neil on the keys, and ‘Stem’ Green on the drums.

“Violet Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1] (C – G – Am – Em)
(C) Underneath the violet shadows, (G) where our secrets lie,
(Am) We danced to the rhythm of the midnight sky. (Em)
(C) Lost in the echoes of your sweet goodbyes, (G) our love was starry-eyed. (Am – Em)
[Chorus] (F – C – G)
(F) Violet shadows, (C) tell me do you remember?
(G) How we grew wild and free, like a melody in late December.
(F) Violet shadows, (C) caught in your tender surrender,
(G) We were poetry in motion, lost in the notion, of forever.

From the same chord progression of verse 1, the song continues telling their story, revisiting memories wrapped up in ‘violet shadows’, and longing for that lost love.
[Chorus]
