Anna von Hausswolff - Mountains Crave


Stockholm is a city that comes to life in summer and the island of Skeppsholmen, surrounded by the city’s glittering water landscapes, lies at the heart of this yearly event. Acting as a cultural hub for both Sweden and Scandinavia, Stockholm is a city well deserving of its own international music festival. Stockholm Music & Arts is that festival and with food, drink and great company we will celebrate the city, summer, art and music in a distinctive urban archipelago setting.

Continuing the tradition of Skeppsholm’s Festival, Stockholm Jazz & Blues and Sthlm Jazz Fest, Stockholm Music & Arts aim to provide a high quality program that is both ambitious and unique that will help expand the musical and cultural horizons of our nation’s capital. From August 3-5, 2012, Stockholm Music & Arts will offer a program that combines intelligent art with distinct musical artistry – some of the best Sweden and the world have to offer.





Today, we do some advertising for the festival and play a song from one of the participants who had been quite hot in the media and among friends.

Anna Von Hausswolff was born 6 September 1986 in Gothenburg, Sweden. She is a singer, pianist and songwriter. She released her debut single, "Track of Time", on 5 February 2010, followed by the debut album Singing from the Grave. The album was very well received by the Swedish press. She played on the Way Out West Festival in 2009. In March 2010 she warmed up for Tindersticks on three occasions. She has also warmed up for Lykke Li on her tour 2011 for three occasions, and for M.Ward at the royal theatre Dramaten in Stockholm.
