The main event of the tour, playing at Katalin in my hometown Uppsala! A memorable evening for sure!

This night at Katalin was a recreation of a concert held in Akureyri, Iceland two years ago when Eric's bluesband and Beebee & bluebirds shared the stage. I wasn't there, but I played with both bands this time. What a treat!

I didn't know about this place until working on booking the tour. Very nice scene in an old church. I'm sure I'l be back playing here!

First gig of a tour is always exciting, especially when you haven't played together before. The evening turned out very nicely both musically and audience turn out. Off to a great start!

When Afro does a show, you know it's going to be over the top. this time was no exception. Such a great show. I played on a few songs. The picture is taken during "They didn't know". Truly a powerful experience!

It always fun to share your knowledge and experiences. I wonder if it's actually the one doing the clinic the learns the most! The school had a nice 50s B3 and a Leslie 122XB. Photo: Palli Kristmundsson

Such a cool place! The water museum in Stykkisholmur has columns with water from the glaciers of Iceland. The acoustic were quite special, but then, it is a special place! Nice concert for a small but enthusiastic crowd.

I was invited by Óskar Einarsson to join a concert at Lindakirkja with their gospel choir and band. Such a nice place, and a great choir! Hope there'll be more. Photo: Palli Kristmundsson

How I love that organ! Feels and sounds so good, and also so beautiful. Photo: Palli Kristmundsson

Dream come true! To do a solo concert on this fantastic organ is one of the most awesome things I have ever done. You don't play this organ - it plays you. Or something. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's just a complete symbiosis with the instrument. Wow!

First gig of this Iceland trip - at the Swedish embassy residence. Some really prominent guests in the audience, with made it all the more special.

Last gig, and the most important - in my hometown Uppsala! It was such a party. And what better way to illustrate that than with a video with som party jazz.

Biografbaren in Eskiltuna must be one of the most genuine vintage bars in Sweden. The whole place breathes nostalgia and the B3 fits like a glove in the room. Great place for our third concert.

Second concert of the release tour, at Konserthuset, Stockholm. Quite a different venue compared to the previous night. First time I played at Konserthuset.

First release concert of my album "Becoming", and in my hometown nonetheless! Friends and family in the audience. And Wasabryggeriet is such a cosy place. Great start of the release tour!

Been in Tumba many times, at the Swedish Hammond office, but never visited the church. Today Triple A did a lunch concert there. Nice church with pleasant acoustics.

The first of three gigs in Skinnskatteberg this day. The first one at a home ofr elderly.

I was asked to fill in for Leo Lindberg at the organ hangout at Stampen. Johan Leijonhufvud and Miriam Netti also joined in. A great night, with a lot of brazilian music.

Trinity, summer and Glenn Miller Café. What could go wrong? Well, actually I had the worst cold in a long time, but that didn't stop us from having a blast.

Karl doing his usual stroll during his solo on The preacher. Brännkyrka, as always, is a fantastic church to play.

A wonderful organ festival at Sergels torg in Stockholm today. It was a tribute to Maria Johansson, a woman who for many years sat there almost every day playing and singing spritual songs. The backline was a B3, two leslies and a drum set. 5 B3 players - Malin Ahlberg, Errka Petersson, Pierre Swärd, Merit…

We've been playing churches for many years now but there are still places we haven't been, even in the Stockholm area. Thoguh, I hope to come back to this one. Nice church, great audience.

What a fascinating place! Klaverens hus has an enormous collection of pianos and organs. However, only Swedish made nstruments are exhibited, so no Hammonds.

The first Trinity gigs were on July 18th 2005.- Then we played first Årstakyrkan in Uppsala, and then Väddö kyrka in the evening. This day we did almost the same, except the Karl weren't with us at Väddö. Instead we we out jazz and poetry program. A very nice church with inspiring acoustics.
