Mönsterås Blues Scholarship:
This year's scholarship holder has a local connection and has previously worked as a volunteer at Mönsterås Blues & Roots Festival.
Sven Zetterberg became both a mentor and friend and helped to find the voice and courage to stand on stage and sing.
Role models are Ruth Brown, Nina Simone, Etta James, Koko Taylor and Shemekia Copeland. The sound is dense, heavy, modern and combines deep roots with innovation and forward thinking.
