Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado

Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado bring their Copenhagen-bred blues to Teaterbygningen in Køge, Denmark on 20 November 2026. Led by singer and guitarist Thorbjørn Risager, the band shapes an electric blues sound that leans into rhythm and blues, rock and soul, arranged for horns, keys, guitar and a tight rhythm section. Live, the music shifts from tense, riff-driven numbers to slower, melodic moods with an Americana tint, letting Risager’s gravelly voice cut through brass swells and guitar lines without forcing the pace.

The set draws on two decades of songs, including Too Many Roads, Change My Game, Come On In and Navigation Blues. The group plays as an ensemble: riffs lock in, keys add grain and color, and the horn section lifts the choruses rather than crowding them. There’s room for grooves that simmer and for more atmospheric passages with a cinematic edge, always anchored in a modern blues tradition. A night that traces the band’s path from Copenhagen clubs to European stages, distilled into a focused, no-frills show.
