Lindberg also had her own dansband called Christina Lindbergs orkester. The Helsingborg-based orchestra was formed in 1990 and continued until 1995. Besides backing up Lindberg, the band had several hits on the Swedish charts in their own right besides the solo hits of Christina Lindberg and toured in the Scandinavian countries and participating in radio and television.

Members were:

  • Christina Lindberg - vocals
  • Calle Stenson - guitar, saxophone
  • Tommy Källqvist - guitar, vocals
  • Roger Olsson - keyboards, accordion, vocals
  • Pär Hogland - bass
  • Niclas Lindström - drums

After Lindberg decided to put her musical career on hold, mainly due to her pregnancy, the band was rebranded and renamed Stensons named after the guitarist / saxophonist Calle Stenson, and continued as an all-male dansband under the new name.
