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!

First time playing at this venue in the southern suburbs of Stockholm and I have to say I kind of fell in love with it! Nice retro styled place that used to be a supermarket. And a surprisingly big crowd showed up as well!

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…

This was supposed to be the release concert for the Orgelparty Pop edition that was recorded earlier this year. However, I didn't manage to get it done before, so it was just an "ordinary" concert. But a really fun one! This was the first of three concerts at Ktvå this spring. Already looking forward to…

So much fun playing with this trio and I think the pictures show that quite clearly. Haven't play this venue for a while so it was nice to be back. It's not everyday that you play at a castle!

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…

After the holidays you´re usually quite tired and a little off. So, I thought an organ party would be a nice way to start the new year!

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…

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…

This kind of concert is perfect for this duo. Sunday afternoon, people are coming in from the cold to have a coffee or a beer and enjoy a few hours of light-hearted entertainment. Me and Claes have gotten to know each other very well, so we don't need to plan much in advance. And so,…

Second and last show of this little tour was at Missionskyrkan in Vetlanda, a town about an hour away from Jönköping. A concert hall with a little more acoustics than the day before. Also, we didn't have as much amplification. So this concert had somewhat of a different feel compared to the day before. We…

Been looking forward to this week for a long time. About a year ago, Monica Dominique and I did our first concert in Uppsala. A Hammond B3 and a grand piano - what a combination! A symbiosis of the world's finest keyboard instruments. A we really found each other both on a musical and personal…

Last gig of the tour, at the cozy Café August in Hudiksvall. This used to be the place where the local jazzclub had its concerts, but they haven't been active for a while. It was a bit iffy with the ticket sales, but eventually, people came pouring in and it turned out great. Best possible…

Claes and I stayed at a beautiful little bed & breakfast on the countryside between the cities of Söderhamn and Bollnäs. Friday night's venue was just around the corner.

First date of a three day tour with Claes, and my thrid Hammond night of the autumn at Musikhuset. We got a great sound, and there were quite a lot of people there in the audience as well. Great start of the tour!
