Little Green

It may seem unlikely that one of the most interesting bands in the genre often referred to as Americana, resided in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. Rootsy´s Rune Häger put it like this: “Little Green, the band that should be famous, celebrated, on big playlists and guests on talk shows. There is no end to how big they can get.” Thanks to bouts of touring and that reliable phenomenon called ”word of mouth”, Little Green was starting to make waves in their home country, as well as on the international scene. However with the tragic death of founding member and singer Andreas Johannesson it all came to a stop. What make Little Green different from American bands is the scandinavian vibe that complement their knowledge of the great west, It can be traced in the melancholic and reflective lyrics and subtly swedish folk harmonies. ”European DJ’s tend to like the scandinavian vibe. Hopefully it’s the best of both worlds”, says Thomas, and continues ”We were influenced by everything we heard, and we certainly didn’t pretend to be an American band”.
