Pär Lindh

Pär Lindh is a founding member of the Swedish symphonic rock group Pär Lindh Project.

Before working in a band, Pär had several careers. These included church organist, touring classical pianist, solo harpsichordist, drummer, Hammond organist, and jazz & ragtime entertainer. During 1977 and 1978, Lindh played in hard rock bands such as Antenna Baroque and Vincebus Eruptum. However, he decided to leave the rock scene in 1979 to become a classical player in France. In 1989, Lindh returned to Sweden to pursue his interest in progressive rock.

1991 - 1994

In 1991, Pär Lindh and several friends founded The Swedish Art Rock Society. The society's purpose was to start a festival that would serve as a starting point for the current wave of progressive and art rock. During this period, Pär (alongside Jocke Ramsell and the late Magdalena Hagberg), made his first record with the Crimsonic Label, Gothic Impressions.

1995 - 1999

Pär continued working with Ramsell and Hagberg, and together with Nisse Bielfeld and Marcus Jäderholm, they formed Pär Lindh Project. In 1996 the concept album 'Bilbo' was released, inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's first book The Hobbit. PLP headlined the 1997 Rio Art Rock Festival and played other dates in Brazil and Argentina. Late 1997 saw the release of Mundus Incompertus.

2000 - present

PLP are always received well on tour, and have won several prizes for "Best band of festival".¹ After the summer 2000 tour PLP continued as the trio Magdalena, Nisse and Pär to record PLP's third album Veni Vidi Vici. In 2002 the band suffered a setback due to illness. However, they did a strong return in 2004, and started recording a new album. In 2009,Pär wanted to start a new band with some teenagers from the area. The band's name became "The Willburgers". In 2011 released the new album of Pär with PLP,"Time Mirror".
