🎧 Meet the DJs:
Grace grew up surrounded by music from the 1930s and 1940s—her father a filmmaker with a passion for Old Hollywood, her mother a radio DJ spinning ballads, blues, and big band tunes. With that soundtrack in her ears from an early age, she developed both a passion for swing-era sound and for storytelling through music. She later minored in Vocal Performance in Jazz at university, deepening her knowledge of music theory, phrasing, and rhythm.

As a dancer, Grace has spent over a decade immersed in Lindy Hop, Balboa, Collegiate S**g, and Solo Jazz, and that lived experience on the social dance floor shapes the way she DJs. Known for her ability to read the room, she blends swing-era classics with hidden gems—bringing joy, energy, and historical reverence to every set. In addition to DJing, she is a full-time international dance instructor and part-time singer of swing tunes. Whether she’s behind the booth or out on the floor, her mission is the same: to share classic, danceable music that invites dancers of all levers to connect, play, and have fun.

🎶 Live at The Snowball: Stockholm Swing All Stars.
The idea was to form a band featuring the top jazz and swing players in Stockholm. The four horn players in the front line play an important role in the band. With cleverly written arrangements, mostly by Klas Lindquist and Fredrik Lindborg, the band can play softly like a small group and seconds later explode in a big band fortissimo. The rhythm section gives the band a bouncing ground for the solos and ensembles. The members of the Stockholm Swing All Stars are considered among the best in their field in Sweden.
The band plays swing and jazz music suitable both for concerts and for dancing, and they often play at lindy hop and other dance events as well as in concert halls.
The Stockholm Swing All Stars have released seven albums and one DVD. The most recent album, “In The Spirit of Duke Ellington”, was released in September 2018. They tour all over Scandinavia, and sell out the Stockholm Concert Hall and the Gothenburg Concert Hall regularly.

🎶 Live at Snowball: Stef Rosen
is a guitar player and singer from Berlin, Germany. He is considered one of the most innovative and genuine blues players that have emerged in Europe in the recent decades.

He looks at the tradition of this music with a personal and respectful attitude. He has performed in blues clubs, festivals and blues dance events all around the World, from New York to Seoul, as a solo artist and with bands.


In 2017 he joined a European tour with Tony Coleman, who has been drummer for many blues legends as Albert King, Albert Collins, Etta James, Ruth Brown, and for the king of the Blues himself: B.B. King, for more than 20 years.
