It has been a long time since we played Glenn Miller Café, which made it all the more fun. Always nice when you have som new songs to present, and not having been there for a while also makes it fresh in a way.

Back at cosy Folkkulturcentrum! There were some logistic problems getting there both for me and Ali but it worked out in the end.

A crowded hall at the inne city jazz club Swejs in Stockholm. A little tricky getting the organ on stage but a very nice plae to play.

The classic organ trio format, and a repertoire consisting purely of soul jazz from the 60´s. We played the tunes of Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Groove Holmes and Jack McDuff. What a fun night!

Since the release of our 4th album, we haven't been playing in Stockholm, so this felt like a belated release concert for the Stockholm audience. Always a pleasure playing at Fasching and this night was no exception.

My first visit to NAMM surely was an experience to remember. I got to do a few demonstrations at the HAMMOND booth, and there were some other extraordinary events. Hope to go back next year!

First american concerts! Before going to NAMM I went to visit a friend up in Bellingham, WA and he set me up with Cole Schuster and Julian MacDonough. And so we did two shows a Lovitt restaurant, playing mostly my songs. What an experience! Photo: Dustin Crum

Every year Trintiy makes some concerts at homes for elderly. This year, most of them were at different places in Västerås. It's usually quite a rewarding experience, both for us and the audience.

A friend of mine moved from Uppsala to Borgholm (on the island of Öland), where she had bought an old movie theatre. They've made it a fantastic concert hall! Hope to come back there soon.

It is starting to become a tradition to go to Bollsta once every spring and fall and play with hits band. This time we also got to do a little sightseeing around the town. Here we found a chair placed in the middle of nowhere.

Release concert for Claes Janson's new CD "Ett ord till min polare". Arnesen Bluesband is the accompanying band on some of the songs on the record and live we do it all. Looking forward to playing more of this!

You never really know what's gonna happen at a Funk Ups concert and that's fun. It keeps you on your toes. There are usually some guests coming up. On this night, one of them was Albin Grahn on trumpet.

This day started out a little strange. Me and Daniel were supposed to play with Max Schultz, but around noon I got a call saying he was at the hospital and would not be able to do the gig. As a replacement we called Thomas Arnesen and let the concert be in my name instead,…

Sometimes its a gamble when bringing the B3 to small places. Luckily, we managed to squeeze it in. It's been a while since we played with the full two keyboard line up. Always a blast!

An explosion of gospel and jazz at beautiful Metropol. Playing with these guys, you never really know what to expect but it always is a blast!

Great night onboard steam ship Blidösund! The band was on fire and the audience very appreciative. It got quite crowded back in the stern, but it also makes coozy and intimate. 

Always interesting with new musical acqaintances. Got called the day before by Johan Leijonhufvud to do a gig at Stampen. He came directly from Berlin where he lives. I picked him up at the airpost and we went straight to the gig. Max Schultz and Sabsian Ågren were also playing. We had a lot of…

Best. Sound. Ever. I brought my B3 and one 122 and a 142P. The 122 has a deep and round sound, and the 142P is quite sharp with a bite. Together it was just bliss. Alos I think this was the first concert ever where I played only my own compositions. A milestone, both for…

Rasbokil is located just about 20 minutes from my hometown, though I think I have never been there before. The church is from medieval times with nice acoustics. I also got to try the church organ. A real gem! And the concert was fun too. This is a great trio for these kind of gigs.

What a joy playing my own music, with my own trio in my hometown! Though, there were some technical problems. I brought two leslies and in one of them, one of the wires to the bass jumped off so the bass went silent. Luckily we could finish using only the other cabinet. The concert was…

Corporate gigs can be different, for better or for worse. This one was definitely for the better. No expenses spared. Beautiful old building, excellent food and drinks, music in almost every room. A choir, a balkan horn orchesta, a string quartet, a rock band - and a Hammond trio.

Last church gig of the summer, on the island of Blidö in the northern archipelago. The mix of poery and jazz is quite insteresting since because we choose the music based on the poems, the span of the music stylistically is quite large.

The concerts at Brännkyrka kyrka are amazing. It usually crowded, people cheer, applaude and show appreciation in a way not so common at the churches. This time was no exception. A nice way to end the summer with Trinity.
