DELTA BLUES BAND

 

Delta Introduction

Scandinavia's oldest blues band made a sensational comeback at this year's Copenhagen Blues Festival in 2008. The band is considered one of the most important founders of the blues scene in Denmark back in the sixties. In the later edition as the Delta Cross Band, they had huge success in the eighties. In connection with the Copenhagen Blues festival, the old boys thought it would be fun to get the band together again, as it had been 40 years since it all started.

At the head of the band was Denmark's Mr. Blues: Troels Jensen, who unfortunately in 2020, passed away far too soon.

Now in 2022, however, the audience will be presented with a new and expanded version of the orchestra. The band has been reinforced by the pianist Henning Verner and Danny Linde aka "Dee Boy Junior" (Zididada etc.), who for many years has had Troels as his good friend and source of inspiration.

The mouth harps are played by the master himself: Jørgen Lang. Behind the drums is the experienced and widely traveled Asmus Jensen. On bass and vocals, you meet the well-known and much-used session musician Knut Henriksen. And on Guitar you still have Troels Jensen's old "sideman" since 1968, Thomas Puggaard-Müller, who in 2008 had his comeback on the Danish blues scene. Solid, well-played and very competent music is played, reaching far into all corners of blues music
