about
Virginia Leaves is a band from Vancouver, Canada. The band initially was an acoustic venture put together by long time friends Mike West (guitar/vocals) and Mike “Strides” Brown (guitar). In 2009, enter Glenn Kelly (bass/vocals) and Brian Michals (percussion) to round out the act. Their music is a blend of indie rock with a rural country twang. Producer Pierre Fraser of Resonant Mind Productions describes it as “elements of rock, with a thick mist of country blowing its way up from the south”. Vocalists, Mike West and Glenn Kelly write a unique blend of saccharine harmonies that are catchy singalongs. Fans have referenced the Virginia Leaves’ sound to iconic bands such as Social Distortion, Lucero and Deertick. In February 2013, Virginia Leaves finished recording their first full length album entitled 'Portrait'. The members of Virginia Leaves are excited about its debut and are currently setting up shows to promote its' release. The name may conjure images of sweet tobacco, acres of auburn maple trees or the tragic girl that ran away. While having a tonne of fun performing and creating music, Virginia Leaves are hoping to make a lasting contribution into indie rock music.
