The band Leaves of Grass was formed as a group around Singer Songwriter Henrik Schröder and singer/Guitarist Fredrik Levander whom had played as a duo for years. The two started their musical activities together in 1990, then in the group The Preachers.Late 2006 the concept Leaves of Grass was formed between a group of guys playing covers just for fun, and some loose change. Guitarist and singer Thom Söderlund took charge behind the drums, Guitarist and back bone of the group Kjell Mattsson made the bass his instrument and Sverker Akselsson stayed with keyboard and guitar along with Schröder on guitar and lead vocal with Levander adding the vocals and guitar completing the Leaves of Grass sound. A sound compared with The Band and Crosby Stills and Nash.On this page a number of songs are displayed and we try to change them from time to time.And yes, we know of Walt Whitman... oh Captain, my Captain!
