On the Hunt for Lost Youth and Love: Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado’s New Single “Long Time Ago”
Stream “Long Time Ago” on all platforms HERE

Danish roots-rock sensation Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado are back with their brand new single, “Long Time Ago,” out now via Provogue/Mascot Label Group. This track is the second release from their yet to be announced and much-anticipated new album and it offers a fresh, modern take on the blues, channeling the vibes of contemporary giants like The Black Keys and My Baby or a modern JJ Cale take while staying true to the band’s deep blues roots.

“Long Time Ago” is a masterclass in blending classic blues traditions with modern soundscapes. The single is driven by a pulsating groove and Risager’s soulful vocals, reminiscent of the swampy, raw energy that has become synonymous with The Black Tornado’s sound. Accompanying the release is a stunning lyric video, shot on the road, capturing the melancholic yet captivating spirit of the blues noir—a perfect visual complement to the track’s mood.

“Long Time Ago is a song about searching,” says Thorbjørn. “Everybody’s searching for something. Maybe you’re searching for true love, maybe you’re searching for your lost youth, maybe you’re searching for something and you don’t even know what it is.”

The release of “Long Time Ago” follows a string of accolades and successes for Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado, including winning four Danish Music Awards (often referred to as the Danish Grammys) and eight nominations, as well as receiving the prestigious Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik in 2014. The band has also been honored with the European Blues Award for Best Band in 2017 and was voted “Best Album” by Classic Rock’s Blues Magazine for their 2014 album ‘Too Many Roads.’

It’s been twenty years since they released their debut album, ‘Live 2004,’ and since then, they’ve picked up numerous awards and blazed a trail across the world, captivating crowds with their dynamic stage presence and a sound that fuses soul Chicago blues, boogie, and rock ‘n’ roll with a voice where Ray Charles, Van Morrison, and Billy Gibbons meet in the middle. They’ve opened for Bonnie Raitt, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Risager himself, sharing the stage with legends such as Buddy Guy and Robben Ford. They’ve even picked up a fan in Elwood Blues himself – Dan Aykroyd! – who hailed their “Hot rhythm and blues.”

“Long Time Ago” is a powerful reminder of why Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado have become one of the most respected names in modern blues. With over 60,000 physical albums sold / 20 million streams over the past decade, and a dedicated following that continues to grow rapidly, Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado are showing no signs of slowing down. The band is set to continue their non-stop touring schedule throughout 2024 and beyond, bringing their electrifying live performances to fans across Europe and North America.

“Due to a sudden and unexpected medical diagnosis, it is with great regret that I have to announce that I will have to postpone my “Into the Blue” fall tour 2024 to a later date. I'm really disappointed that I won't be able to be on stage for my fans this year, but I have to put my health first. I look forward to coming back stronger and performing for you as soon as my health situation is stable again and the new tour dates are confirmed. I would like to thank my band, my tour managers, my agent, all the promoters and my amazing fans for their support and patience during this very difficult time.” - Layla Zoe, September 2024

All tickets remain valid. A new date will be announced shortly and those who have purchased tickets will be informed of the new date very soon.

The planned tour of ProgJect - The Ultimate Prog-Rock Experience has to be postponed. The reason for this is that drummer Jonathan Mover has to undergo an operation at short notice. On the advice of his doctors, all unnecessary travel should be avoided, as this could worsen the chances of success of the upcoming operation.

Jonathan Mover apologizes to all fans and assures that he and the rest of the ProgJect musicians are very much looking forward to coming to Europe and playing. He will no doubt be back on his feet soon and ready for next year.

All tickets already purchased remain valid. Catch-up dates will be announced as soon as possible. We ask for your understanding.
