After the 2024 album ‘Lost In The Blue’, ALVA LEAVES releases its first single ‘Come Around’ with a new line-up, featuring the singers Alischa Boss and Lisa Zaugg from Another Me. The crew in the studio is unchanged: Luk Zimmermann (Lunik) provides classy preamps and guitars, Wolfgang Zwiauer (Bass Drum People, Cosmotonics) plays bass and piano, Gert Stäuble, as always, provides the fat beat and arrangement of the song. A new album is in production and the first concerts are finally planned for 2026.

Stay tuned.

Alva Leaves Band - Gert Stäuble, Luk Zimmermann, Wolfgang Zwieauer

Alva Leaves is an indie pop band from Berne, Switzerland. Drummer and composer Gert Stäuble (Central Services, Mich Gerber, Züri West) has gathered a diverse crew that shares a great love for music and, needless to say, talent. Defying conventional patterns, the band consists of a team of three producers featuring the two female singers from Another Me. Alva Leaves, thus, not only connects expertise with freshness, but also bridges the usual generation and gender gaps.

The result is a very contemporary sound, in which the experienced instrumentalists lay the traditional ground for the singers and guitarists Alischa Boss and Lisa Zaugg. Beside Gert Stäuble on drums there’s jazz pianist Maja Nydegger (Akku Quintet, Blaer), guitarist Luk Zimmermann (Lunik) and bass player Wolfgang Zwiauer (Christy Doran, Don Li).

Alva Leaves was founded in November 2022, launching its first single “Currents”, followed by the album “Lost In The Blue” featuring Finja Keogh and Sophie Grimes in November 2024.

Alva Leaves is signed by Sophie Records and managed by Nordwind Bern both located in Berne, Switzerland.
