I'M KINGFISHER (formerly known as: THOMAS DENVER JONSSON
The indie-folk troubador Thomas Jonsson was 2008 listed in the British newspaper The Times as one of six acts
who have taken the Swedish pop scene onwards since ABBA. Now in 2010, the time has come to release his fourth
solo album 'ARCTIC' which is the first one to come out under his brand new musical alias I'm Kingfisher
(formerly: Thomas Denver Jonsson).
After being musically active for a decade as Thomas Denver Jonsson, Thomas now changes his stage name to I'm
Kingfisher with the 'ARCTIC' LP. The reasons for doing so are many but the most obvious would be feeling
"finished" with the old name, admiring birds deeply and quote; "since I do have come up with the best stage
name ever, I think it's mandatory to use it no matter what". Thomas has previously released three solo albums
('Hope to Her' 2003, 'Barely Touching It' 2005, 'The Lake Acts Like an Ocean' 2007) and two EPs as Thomas
Denver Jonsson and he has done around 400 shows in nearly 20 countries (including SXSW Festival, Swedish tours
with Josh Rouse, Damien Jurado and Rosie Thomas, five UK tours and sharing a gig with Thin Lizzy @ Paradiso in
Amsterdam).
The previous albums have featured guest appearances by friends like Damien Jurado, Rosie Thomas, Ned Oldham,
Ellinor Blixt (Bobby Baby, It's a Musical, Bobby&Blumm) and Jennie Stearns (Donna The Buffalo). Thomas is also
together with C-J Larsgården the postrock/indietronica duo A Perfect Friend which has two albums out. He also
co-runs the currently sleeping vinyl-only label Going Places.
