Album
Little Green
Crossing Lanes
(Rootsy.nu)

Price: 100 SEK

“This Swedish quintet keeps the warm vocal candor of a singer-songwriter act (the group's original approach), but livens that up with the shiny fiddles and mountain pickin' of bluegrass. It's a hugely inviting mix that gives us all the campfire glow without the ‘ dueling banjos’ ."
Little green gets their own sound through their wide range of influences and a fair amount of disrespect for tradition. The lyrics are usually quite dark and brooding, and reek with ”swedish melancholy”. The music however, is often stirring and catchy with simple but effective vocal harmony. Some of their influences are: Darrell Scott, Tim O´Brien, The Greencards, Nickel creek, Dixie chicks, Steve Earle and Neil Young.

Little green was formed by Thomas Pontén (mandolin, guitars and vocals) and Andreas Johannesson (Lead-vocals and guitar) in Gothenburg. At first in more of a Singer/songwriter-style but they gradually transformed into a country/bluegrass-act. Soon they felt the duoformat to be a bit limiting and they brought in other musicians with Thomas and Andreas remaining as core members. Other members are Karl Wassholm (bass), Fred Sörensson (fiddle) and Johan Hjalmarsson (drums).

The band have played a number of gigs, and has reached the finals in the swedish championships of country-music for two years straight. 2006 they participated in the alt country-genre and in 2007 in bluegrass. Little green is releasing their album “Crossing lanes” on the Rootsy-label in november 2008.
