This morning we played “Christmas is Here” on Danish National Television.

And Christmas is here. We – The Hymnboy and The Hymnband want to wish you a verry merry christmas, and thank you for your support during this year! A year where we released two albums and played +40 concerts in Denmark. It has been a wonderful year, and we’re already looking forward to 2012.

May the christmas time bring you comfort and joy.

love from / The Hymnboy

here’s a clip from Danish television (TV2 News) last night. It starts at 2:20. It’s pretty much about “Endurance in Christmas Time” and all the great reviews it’s got so far.

Yeah.

Tonight we’re playing in Copenhagen – in one of Copenhagens biggest and oldest churches – Vor Frelsers Kirke. We can’t wait!! It’ll be our last show in Copenhagen this year. You can buy your ticket here.

After the show we’re going to the GAFFA Awards, where we’re nominated for a prize called “Best New Act” of the year. Exciting. I’ve never been to an award show before. Let’s see what happens.

Lots of love

Yes, it's #1

Hey Friends,

So many good things are happening, it’s hard to keep up!

A short list of what’s good in these days:

- The biggest Danish music magazine, GAFFA, has named “Hymns from Nineveh” as Danish Album of the Year 2011. This is crazy. And wonderful. We’re proud.
- The readers of GAFFA have nominated Hymns from Nineveh as Best New Act of 2011 for the “GAFFA Prisen”. The winner will be announced at an award show the 8th of December.
- “Anywhere with You” is in heavy rotation on the Danish National Radio, which is nice, but what is nicer is that it is being tested on two user-designed hitlists, Systemlisten and Det Elektriske Barometer – we would be happy if you would go and give it a heart!

Last, but not least: We’re playing our Christmas Tour these days, and so far it’s been a fantastic experience playing the new songs for those, who came. You can still catch us here:

Dec 2 8pm Skt. Hans Kirke, Sct. Hans Plads 1, 5000 Odense C.  Free entrance!
Dec 8 8pm Vor Frelsers Kirke, Sankt Annægade 29, 1416 Kbh K (Info – Tickets)
Dec 17 7.30pm Aarhus Valgmenighed, Mjølnersvej 6, 8230 Aabyhøj.  (Tickets)

Hope to see you.

Beloved readers

Our autumn tour has ended – 17 shows in 17 beautiful Danish cities in one month. We have had a fantastic time together with all you guys, who showed up. Thank you so, so, so much for your support! It has been an autumn of love for us.
I’ll soon post some more pictures from our tour, but until then, go HERE to view some fine photos from our last show in Randers, where the fantastic photographer from Venstrehaandsarbejde showed up.

On thursday I, the Hymnboy, will play a duo show with RebekkaMaria at one of the best venues in Denmark, namely Store Vega. It’s an event called “Nordic Sounds”, where Scandinavian artists such as Jonathan Johansson, Susanne Sundfør and Sóley will play their songs. And RebekkaMaria and I. And our good friend Michael Møller. It’s gonna be great! Hope to see some of you!

One last thing: You might know Mikael Kærsgaard, who, besides playing electric guitar in Hymns from Nineveh, he also makes wonderful music in Munich (who supported us on the fall tour), and in Kites & Komets. There’s been made a short film about his appearance at SPOT Festival, where he played 3 concerts in one day. Rock ‘n’ roll!

That’s all for now.

Hi, friends!

I guess you’ve noticed, that we’re on tour? So far, we’ve played 7 concerts all over Denmark the last couple of weeks. Ringkøbing, Aarhus, Copenhagen, Rønne, Aalborg, Odense & Roskilde! And we’ve loved it! Once again, thank you for your support.There are still 10 to go, and frankly, we can’t wait.

We’ve been lucky to get a bunch of great reviews – a beautiful 4/6 star-review in Soundvenue and two 5/6 star-reviews in both Gaffa and Nordjyske Stiftstidende. Lovely.

Tomorrow we’re going to Esbjerg, the hometown of Mikael (so we expect a guided sightseeing tour around the city). Thursday we have a day off, before we’ll play two concerts in Helsingør and Lyngby. Woah!

Well, folks – we’ve been taking some pictures so you could get a glimpse of how it is to be on the road with Hymns from Nineveh – go to our Facebookpage to see them.

Spring is finally starting to emerge in the Copenhagen soil! Also, more concerts are starting to pop up in the concert calendar. We’re so excited about the concerts we’re going to play! London, Sdr. Felding, Copenhagen, Skive. We can’t wait !

First, some brief radio news: Sister Sorrowsong is currently # 2 @ Det Elektriske Barometer and #4 @ Systemlisten – this is so great! THANK you for cheering for her! If you want to help her to stay on the lists, you’re welcome to vote by clicking the hearts !

And now to something completely different: The announcement of exclusive duo shows with RebekkaMaria & the hymnboy!

RebekkaMaria & Jonas

You might know, that RebekkaMaria and I did some duo shows last fall, and this was such a good experience for us, so we’ve decided to do some more at some great venues in Denmark. We’ll be playing some acoustic versions of each other’s songs. It will be quiet and fine. Also, we’ll interpret some songs by Simon & Garfunkel for the nice event “We Proudly Present: Simon and Garfunkel”, alongside with such brilliant artists as Mads Langer, Kasper Kaae from CODY and Mikael Kærsgaard.

Here’s a version of RebekkaMaria’s hit single “Oh Solitude” from the At My Place concert last year.

Oh Solitude (RebekkaMaria & Hymns From Nineveh duo live) by RebekkaMaria

Mechanical Bird is number 2 at Det Elektriske Barometer – we’re thrilled ! Thanks for cheering for this project too.

If you want to vote for Sister Sorrowsong again, it would mean the world to us.

Systemlisten (your vote counts if you vote for 2 other acts)
Det Elektriske Barometer (your vote counts, if you vote for 4 other acts – I suggest that you vote 4 Mechanical Bird as well )
Soundvenue High 5 (your vote counts if you vote for 2 other acts)
