Danish singer-songwriter Jonas H. Petersen founded the project Hymns From Nineveh in 2007. A five-track EP entitled 'Uncomplicated Christmassongs' was released in 2009; a full-length Christmas album followed in 2011. His self-titled debut album was also released in 2011; a second studio album 'Visions' drops September 19.
When playing live Petersen aka Hymnboy is joined by a five-member band; however, occasionally he performs solo, as seen in the second clip, recorded by Danish televison station DR2; the gorgeous song "The Streets of Pyongyang" begins at 00:35. The first video was shot by Mikkel Aabenhuus.
Hymnboy and his merry men have nine shows scheduled between September 27 and November 3, all of them in Denmark; hopefully the six of them will also be playing gigs outside Denmark in the near future.
