Biography Hyacinth House

The band formed as the solo project of singer Mack Johansson 2003 when he studied to become a producer and sound engineer at the university of Växjö. Consequently the debut album involves no less than 17 musicians! However, during this process the band started to take shape under the working name “Hyacinth House”. The name never changed but instead seemed very fitting, hinting towards the jam sessions that toke place in “hyacinth houses” during the golden age of jazz in New Orleans, rather than the Doors song.

The first members melting into concept were gifted guitarist Andreas Berg, talented cello player Kristina Löfstedt and Mack’s brother Fredrik Johansson. The later picked up the banjo, harmonicas and the dobro to fit into the soundscape.

In 2005 the first self-titled album was finished. But despite being a brilliant, diverse and non-conform work, it never won the attention of any labels. Thus brothers Johansson created a platform of their own, True Music Production, and released from that. Late 2005 the album reached the Netherlands and sprouted. Until this day the Netherlands stays the Hyacinth House country number one.

At this stage drummer John Nyberg had joined the band and before that bas player Peter Norén. The band was now complete and threw two brilliant tours in the Netherlands before starting the exhausting process of recording a second album autumn 2006.

    Listening "O Old My Love" after a looooong time. Brilliant, beautiful song! HH, when are you planning on touring? And equally important: when do you release a new album? We miss you around here! Greets from Holland!
