On the road, I've had the pleasure of working with various top-keyboardplayers like Dan Hemmer, Peter Lapiki, Henning Verner, Palle Hjort, Kristian Fogh, Svenne Topgaard and Kjeld Lauridsen.
A special mention of the piano player Hans Knudsen, who is also a long-time friend of mine. He's a part of the Muddy Waters Jam Band, and he knows how to boogie and how to play "The Real Chicago Blues". Saturday 18. we did a show at Mojo's, with Svenni Svafnisson on bass, Hans Rosenberg on drums and Jørgen Lang on harmonica. Jørgen has been around for years and is one of the greatest harmonica players on the Planet Earth in my opinion! Svenni, one of the funkiest mother''''ers I know, used to play with Kenn Lending and he was. one third of a trio i had a few years back, where we occasionally hired Hans K on the piano. Hans Rosenberg was a new experience for me. What a drummer! It was like we'd played together for years. Check him out here in MySpace...
Influences: Some people say that I play the Blues sounding like I was born in the Mississippi Delta and raised in Chicago. Well, I'm a Danish country-boy that fell in love with The Blues, and that's all there is to it...
Very early in my career I had the privilege to play with Champion Jack Dupree and Sunnyland Slim when they visited my hometown, and my main inspiration and influence comes from Afro-American-Caribbean music from Robert Johnson to Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley,( BB, Albert & Freddie King, Robert Johnson, Fred McDowell, Albert Collins, just to mention a few) but people like Mark Knopfler, Freddie Fender, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton (!), among others, are also close to my heart...
Bill W and Doctor Bob are my "gurus", even if I know they probably wouldn't want to be...
Sounds Like: I don't try to sound like anybody else, but influences tend to show up here and there...
