Thomas Denver Jonsson is heading out on an extensive tour next week so he's posted a couple tracks for free download to get people excited: "You were the holiday" / "Only for beginners"
Dates and details: http://www.thomasdenver.com/
Thomas comments: It'll be nice to do this, I haven't been on such a long tour since 2003. The situation in UK is only getting better and better. Netherlands on the other hand is only getting worse and worse. This'll be my 5th tour there and for every tour I'm playing at slightly worse venues and getting slightly less paid. Still, some dates seems really promising even there.
