Dell Summer Rocks Interview!
I did a bunch of interviews after my gig at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago. Dell had a huge dome there filled with laptops where you could do your own mixtape. They made an interview with me after my gig.
Check it out here:
You can also make your own mixtape:
Dell is rocking all summer with the Dell Summer Rocks tour. Put together your own digital mixtape with one of our songs of course and check out the rest of the tour happenings [here].

So I had a little fundraiser for my new album a while back, and first of all I would like to say THANK YOU! to all of you that helped fund “Jonestown”.

We have randomly picked five of you that will receive the album ahead of the release, and here are the winners (in no particular order):
Carlos Maria Bacigalupo, Argentina
Thierry Cote, Canada
Emil Ekman, Sweden
Matthias Mueller, Germany
Lionel Grenier, France
The album will be sent to you shortly.
New video with Christian Kjellvander
I was just about to go to the US to do my Lollapalooza tour when I recorded this video with Christian Kjellvander, one of Sweden’s most prominent country singer/songwriters. When Christian told me about the tour he’s about to make this fall I did get a bit jealous because it sounded so awsome. Christian is also going to the US, but he’ll be doing a livingroom tour, which means he’ll be playing in people’s homes. How awsome is that! I hope that all you guys will check out his schedule on his website and make sure to catch one of his performances because you won’t get disapointed, I promise.

After releasing several Loosegoats albums and the great Songs of Soil album Christian released hit breakthrough debut “Songs From A Two-Room Chapel” in 2002. In 2005 “Faya” was released and then Christian has been touring ever since with the occasional break. Now “I Saw Her From Here/I Saw Here From Her is done. This fall Christian is heading to the US to do a “livingroom tour” playing in people’s homes.

Two new videos!
So I’ve been on tour in the US and haven’t been able to update my page in a while. And as I’m releasing a new video each week I’ll try to make it up to Sara for not posting her earlier by doing it now! Sara and I met when we were both summer temps at one of Sweden’s largest newspapers. We discovered our common interest for music and soon gained the nickname “The Glittertwins” in the office. Sara has since released 2 cool pop albums in Sweden and Germany. Check her out here: www.sararumar.com and www.myspace.com/sararumar

Song: Prove me wrong (Jonestown 2008)

Guest number 2 is country singer Kristina Westin.
I first heard of Kristina from my husband’s co-worker who plays the guitar in her band. We went to a few of their gigs and were impressed by Kristinas husky voice and talanted songwriting. Kristina who has only released an EP yet will release her debut album later this year - and we’re looking forward to it! Check out her stuff here: www.myspace.com/kristinawestin
