About Me

Blackleaf is a three piece power rock trio, stemming from Luis Cabrera’s soulful pipes and contagious guitar hooks to Jeff Marso’s thunderous bass, and Chad Hough’s groove-pounding beats.

Their music speaks to the heart, the soul, and the sensuous flesh. Phat, vintage, and masterfully layered guitar sounds with head banging, driving rhythms pulsate with urgency, providing a deeply rooted and hypnotic backdrop for Luis lyrical poetry. His words and cathartic vocal performance evoke an existential angst with a shaken but not stirred optimism, like at the end of the day, when the sun goes down and you dig your toes into the sand, we know with certainty that tomorrow is a new day!


Evolving from a myriad of bands, Blackleaf brings a very unique, refreshing, thought evoking alternative to the "alternative" scene! They are bold, couragious, fearless and painfully honest...their ship has set sail to uncharted waters in search of new sonic landscapes.
Blackleaf plays in and around the L.A. club scene, and the bands first studio release hits by early spring ’08! Blackleaf brings it all with a life lived large from the streets, the beaches, and various states of mind. Tune in now!
