Thorbjorn Risager & the Black Tornado - Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado: Talent, dedication and perseverance As this band enters it's fourteenth year, they really seem to be on the verge to a success that will open some new doors, in new territories. And with all the hard work they put into this project, they surely deserve it. - Parallel to writing, recording and releasing new material with 12 - 18 months' interval, they have kept touring all over Europe, plus a tour to Canada and a spot at Asia's biggest blues festival Mahindra Blues in Mumbai, where they shared the stage with Buddy Guy. They play 100 gigs per year, and they have performed in 21 countries. Remarkably enough, only two musicians have quit the band since the start in 2003 and they have worked with the same agency, Westman Music, since 2005. This is a hard-working band, and they really stick together through thick and thin. They are united through their talent, their dedication and their perseverance! - This guy is a singer's singer, but maybe born too late, because if he had been doing this job in the '50s and '60s and lived in the USA, surely he would be a legend by now.
