Orgelparty Pop Edition started the evening at Scala with a short set of some explosive pop songs. Playing this music is so much fun, especially since it has been a while. We started with Saturday night's alright and it just took off from there. Sound was really nice to. Felt like the roof was going…

Nice little outdoors mingling entertainment, playing soft jazz and party music for a happy crowd!

Beaatiful day for an outdoors festival! This was the third time Arnesen Blues Band played at Huddinge Jazz & Blues but it was been 8 years since the last time. We had the last concert slot of the first night of the festival. People really seemed to enjoy it and we were also able to…

Our premiere week ended with a wonderful festival on the countryside outside Uppsala! 4 bands playing, in a barn where the stage was mounted on hayrolls. Good food, good company and a happy mood throughout the day. A great way to finish the week!

Sometimes the weather is your worst enemy. It was a beautiful day all over Sweden, so fewer people wanted to go inside to enjoy a concert. But there were a little crowd to play for and we still had a great time. Christian Dalin made a great guest appearance on two songs.

Great start of our premiere week with the Sitting Three! This was my third and last concert at Ktvå this spring and it felt like a nice way to finish. It was a beautiful day so we were lucky to have a good audience dispite of the weather. This trio has a repertoire consisting of…

A nice festival in my hometown of Uppsala, organized by young jazz musicians. I started with a clinic and then did a concert. It's extra fun to play and show the instrument for younger audience. Hopefully I can plant a few seeds for a coming generation.

What a night! It's been 10 years since we were in Karlstad last time, so this concert was definitely overdue. The room was almost packed, and the audience was so nice and appreciative. Hope it won't be 10 years til the next time.

Great to be back where it all started! Monica and me played together for the first time here at Ktvå, about two years ago. At that time, we didn't know each other at all and hadn't even met, much less played together. Since then we have done a few gigs and gotten to know each…

Nice relaxed evening at Musikhuset with Claes. Fun, easy going gig and an appreciative audience. We tried out a couple of new songs that worked out really well.

Last time I played at this place was 8 years ago or so. They have built att really nice stage since then. We had a fun night and it was also recorded so there's a lot of video that you can check out!

Wonderful concert at Folkets hus in Nynäshamn! Haven't played with Claes in a while so it was so nice to get out. The place was almost packed and we had a relaxed fun evening and the audience loved it. The pictures are taken by Gösta Rising, head organizer of the concert, but also a well…

One of the things that is so nice about this trio is that wherever you play, whether it's a big stage or, like this, at a cozy little restaurant, it always turns into a celebration of life and joy. We all love the music we play, we all see the deeper dimension and the healing…

Second time around at this wonderful little place in the south suburbs of Stockholm. A little oasis located next to a car mechanics workshop, a gas station and a super market. A stage so small that you have to use every inch to fit an organ and drums. Great atmosphere and godd food. Me and…

Unfortunately, it is not often that I play on the west coast of Sweden. So we were happy to go there for a gig with Trinity at the jazz club in the cozy small town of Ljungskile. They hadn't heard us before so it's always interesting to see how a new crowd will respond. And…

We've had so much fun with the blues band lately, and yesterday was no exception. ANd the audience was really digging! A special day for me as well - Feb 22nd was the birthday of my father. He would have been 84 yesterday but he passed away shortly after his 82nd birthday. So to honor…

Sometimes it's fun to cram yourselves into a little space, especially if it's at a nice venue or a party. This time, it was both! And the crowd was loving it. True Bowie fans, probably much more than me.

Second day of this tour was in Härnösand, a town about 45 minutes north of Sundsvall. We were really looking forward to playing another show after last night's success, but in those situations you also get a little anxious that you won't be able to repeat it. And you might say yesterday's gig was a…

Trying to find the words to describe this concert, but it's hard. To just say it was a great concert isn't quite enough. It was such an explosion of groove, artistry, joy and love. This band has existed to more than 20 years and it shows. We just had so much fun and happened to…

Last night of my concert series at Musikhuset this fall! I'm happy to say that people are coming back and bringing people with them. So it's becoming a thing! Looking forward to next year, with more organ dates! A few of them are already set, but not all. Always nice to have two nights in…

A sort of a premiere for a new project! Me and Ola have done a few gigs before, but this was the first one with the real project name - Orgelparty Pop Edition! And we have refined the concept a little from previous gigs. And so how did it turn out? Musically - so much…

Me and Claes played at a home for elderly located just across the street from where I live. The room where we played was located on the top floor, offering a great view of my city of Uppsala. You can see it in one of the pictures below. We had a great time playing, and…

Haven't been in Umeå for more than ten years. Trinity played the jazz club on our first national tour, but since then I haven't even been in the area. So it was nice to come back. I really like the city. A few days before I arrived, there had been a snowstorm, that turned the…

Having played the same venue the day before with Claes Janson, this was a very comfortable gig for me. Didn't even have to get the things off stage. Karl and Jojo came by car from Stockholm, and they encountered some serious weather on the way up. A snowstorm hit the whole east coast, making the…
