History
Working Mojo is a danish blues band, founded in 1990 by our guitar player Martin Kleiner and drummer Thomas Ditlevsen. We are all well skilled blues musicians from Denmark and blues music is a very important part of our lives.
We always play the blues in a way that makes you smile, jump and dance all night.
In Front we have Ebbe Steen Johansen - a strong vocalist and blues harp, and Martin Kleiner - a tremendous Chicago and Texas inspired blues guitarist. In the back Lars Soerensen “the king of boogie” and his wild hammond/piano is supported by a very tight and swinging rhythm section, Thomas Ditlevsen (drums) and Anders Vraa (bass).

Sounds Like: Review by Alligator Records 14/1-2007 Working Mojos CD "Live at Dexter" has been reviewed by Bruce Iglauer Alligator Records, Chicago.

These are some of his comments:

...Done with good taste and energy.

...The organ player has lots of attack and the guitar has a good raw feel.
...Energy and attitude are good.
...Nice melodic quality to the guitar.
...Im not noticing the rythm section but they seem to be solid and carrying the song well, plus they share the good dynamics
...Good organ/guitar interplay (this seems to be a signature of the band and a good one).
...Need your love so bad--This is one of the best vocal performances.
...Everyone sounds like theyre having a good time.
...A really good bar blues/soul band with some fine musicianship.

Thanks for the good music.
