The Return of Thorbjørn Risager and The Black Tornado:
Conquering Omaha with Their Roots-Rock Soul
Headlining the Friday, August 11 PwF show is the ever-so-talented TR&TBT, a seven-piece powerhouse band that has conquered hearts all over the world. As PwF Producer Jeff Davis states, "Vanessa and I can't wait for Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado's return to Omaha for their August 11 show. The bands electrifying performance at Playing with Fire in 2019 is deserving of this encore performance! They will be touring with their new CD, Navigation Blues. Looking forward to hearing many of the new songs with different sounds and some of our all-time favorites!"
Since their formation in 2014, Thorbjørn Risager and his exceptional band of musicians have become Denmark's premier roots-rockers, winning numerous nominations, two Danish Music Awards, and "Best Band' at the European Blues Awards. They have performed in 21 countries and released twelve albums. With their latest album, "Navigation Blues," they take us on a journey from rolling rhythm blues romps to southern rocker songs.
The soulful voice of Thorbjørn Risager has been praised by none other than Dan Aykroyd, who hailed their "hot rhythm and blues." The band's love for music and its continuous development always results in electrifying performances that leave audiences in awe.
It is an honor to bring Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado back to Omaha! Get ready to be swept away by the captivating sounds that fuse soul, and Chicago blues boogie, with soulful melodies and groovy beats.

Samantha Martin and Delta Sugar: A Gospel-Glazed, Funky, and Soulful Experience
Fronted by lead vocalist Samantha Martin, this Canadian band is a force to be reckoned with. As Jeff Davis puts it, "Toronto-based Samantha and Delta Sugar are one of my Canadian favs. Samantha has plenty of soul but can also light it up, too! She has promised to perform 'So I'll Always Know' for me!!"
With 13 Maple Blues Awards under her belt, Martin's stunning and torrid force of a voice takes audiences on an emotional rollercoaster. The band's 2018 album "Run to Me" and their latest release, "The Reckless One," have earned them Juno Award Blues Album of the Year nominations (American's Grammy).
But the magic of Delta Sugar lies not only in Martin's powerhouse vocals but also in the pure and unadulterated gospel-tinged vocal blend that the band creates. The result is sheer neuron-tingling magic where the sum is even richer than the already soul-melting parts.
As Jeff recalls, "Ms. Martin’s raw juke joint voice is the charm – the arrangements & band sparkle."
Americana Highway praises the band for this very charm and sparkling arrangements making them a perfect addition to a powerful night of music at Turner Park.
Here are the sweet sounds of music awaiting PwF fans:
