Gothenburg, Sweden
Little green started out as a duo by Thomas Pontén (mandolin/guitars/vocals) and Andreas Johannesson (vocals/guitar) sometime late 2004. At first in more of a Singer/songwriterstyle but gradually they transformed into a country/bluegrass-act. Soon they felt the duoformat to be a bit limiting and they extended the duo to a quartet as Karl Wassholm (upright bass/vocals) and Andreas Kjellberg (percussion/harmonica/mandola/vocals) joined.
Little green gets their own sound through their wide range of influences and a fair amount of disrespect for tradition. Influences include: Nickel creek, Crooked still, Dixie chicks, Darrell Scott and Neil Young. Their music can be labelled as “Altgrass”.
The band have had a number of gigs around Gothenburg and in Stockholm. Their fanbase is growing steadily. In september 2006 they participated in Country-SM in Salen. They came in as second in the alt country-genre. Little green have just finalized their first album!
