Happy New Year folks!

By Hagstrom Media

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday and survived the New Year celebrations. Me and The Grace Trio had a fun Holiday Show at Ritz in Vaasa and me & Oskar also enjoyed our visit to P4:s Finska Pinnar Christmas special where we got to play cool acoustic live versions of Every Day is Like a Holiday and Merry Christmas My Love. You can listen to both tracks here: sverigesradio.se

Merry Christmas My Love video, Musikkbloggen etc..

Hey friends,

 

I'm featured in Musikkbloggen today. "To særdeles glitrende julelåter fra vår finske venn Jerry Lindqvist! Anbefales på det sterkeste i førjulstiden..." You can read the article here: www.musikkbloggen.no

Sebastian Bergholm also wrote sweetly about my Every Day is Like a Holiday single.."Lindqvist är min kandidat för årets bästa säsongssingel. Tankarna går till Ryan Adams i den meningen att Lindqvist med oerhört säker hand och väldigt stilmedvetet och smakfullt skrivit två americanadrypande låtar. Gitarrerna ringer, de glider, refrängerna är stora och bra, fraseringarna sitter..." Read the post here: svenska.yle.fi/kultur-och-noje

Now you can also listen to the new Holiday tunes on YouTube. Merry Christmas My Love is accompanied by a photo montage.

Every Day is Like a Holiday

Jerry's friend & photographer Lukas Renlund posted a story on his facebook.com/Lukas.Renlund.Photographer page about  how our photo shoot for the single design went down in Copenhagen. It was a pretty accurate account of what happened so I also want to share his story with you..

"Not too long ago I had the fine pleasure of welcoming my childhood friend Jerry Lindqvist to Copenhagen for a weekend-long photo shoot. Jerry needed some pics for his upcoming album and X-mas single.

I had chosen the vintage lighting fixtures store Hot Kotyr in Nørrebro as our location. Little did I know, the manager would turn out to be Copenhagen's grumpiest (gentle)man. He simply hated the idea of having us walking around his store taking photos. Bad experiences from similar requests in the past seemed to be the reason of his discomfort. Then finally - with a little patchy small-talk, a few conditions agreed and some good old fashioned bribery (24 cans of beer) he agreed to let us use the place for one hour and "not a minute longer".

It went great! We got all the shots we needed, and more. Here is one of the photographs we made that day. It is the cover of Jerry's next single, Every Day is Like a Holiday.

The song is actually about the loss of a family member and how the Holiday season can be a hard time for anyone who is alone or has recently lost a close one.

With all that said, I hope you'll enjoy the fruits of our collaboration. So long!"

EVERY DAY IS LIKE A HOLIDAY

THE NEW SINGLE - EVERY DAY IS LIKE A HOLIDAY

AVAILABLE FOR DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ON DECEMBER 6th 2012

Jerry Lindqvist is releasing his new Two-Track Holiday Single Every Day is Like a Holiday on his own brand new label Good People Listen to Records (GPLTR).

Every Day is Like a Holiday is produced by Oskar Nyman (The Cajunga, The Grace) and recorded in Stockholm, Sweden. The Single features friends Nina Lassander (bgvs), Tobias Granbacka (organ, bgvs), Petter Näse (electric guitar), Oskar Nyman (electric guitar, bgvs), Jonas Backman (drums), Mats Ödahl (bass) and Conny Ohlson (pedal steel).

The two songs Every Day is Like a Holiday and Merry Christmas My Love are both inspired by the Christmas season but they are not your typical Christmas songs. Instead, they are Jerry’s personal take on the season. Jerry wrote Merry Christmas My Love last year and it tells the tale of how Christmas can be celebrated. Every Day is Like a Holiday was written in late August this year documenting the loss of a family member and how the Holiday season can be a hard time for anyone who is alone or has recently lost a close one.

The single cover & design is by Lukas Renlund (www.lukasrenlund.com) and the cover photo was taken in a vintage lamp store in Copenhagen. Special thanks to Hot Kotyr for your time, space and patience!

Every Day is Like a Holiday (GPLTR001) is released worldwide for digital download on December 6th 2012 at iTunes, Amazon, Spotify...
