Grey Leaf is a five piece band based out Neenah, WI. Founded in 2005 and originally known as the Wise Guys, Grey Leaf has been cultivating their sound and expanding their catalogue of original material, as well as performing an eclectic array of covers. Consisting of Nick "never says no" Lemaire, Nicky "no pants" Rathsack, Ryan "sandy nether regions" Sanders, and Ben "the horny hippie" Vosters. With diverse influences and backgrounds, they come together to create an organic sound of their own that has roots in rock, funk, blues, and jazz. They have played at Summerpalooza (Green Bay), Waupaca County Fair (Weyauwega), Otto Grunski (Menasha) and numerous bars, coffeeshops, and parties throughout the area. Keep your eyes peeled for up-coming shows! ////Nick L........ Carrying the load, lead vocals, rhythm guitar, harmonica, mc, and main songwriter of the band, Nick blends a mixture of blues inflections and syncopated rhythms creating a foundation for the rest of the band to follow. ////Ryan........ The other co-founder of Grey Leaf, Ryan drums with great passion, preferring the art of spontaneous creation and interaction to the rigidity of structured arrangements. That said, Ryan takes a great deal of pride in the creation of all the original material. ////Nick R........ When Nick’s playing the electric guitar, especially late at night, keep the children at home. This shamelessly lewd and lewdly shameless style of play is not meant for the faint of heart. Nick also contributes much of the original material and sings pretty background vocals. ////Ben........ The newest member of Grey Leaf, Ben blows his horn for the sheer love of music, between rounds of Frisbee golf. A toot toot here and a toot toot there everybody likes a toot toot everywhere. ///Levi....... Levi Douma has been performing in the Clubs since 1993 when he began performing as a sideman with singer songwriter Glen Would. Most recognized for the basswork on The Cool Waters Band's most recent studio recording "A Rose Pedal to the Metal" Levi is now Producing his 3rd Studio Project.
