TRICKBAG (Swe/UK/Fin)
Your Full Service Blues Band Since 1994!
With 31 years of touring, 9 albums and several awards/nominations under their belt, Trickbag are in high demand not only as headliners but also as one of the best backing bands for touring US artists in Europe. In 2015, Trickbag reached the proud milestone of being the only International act to perform twice at the prestigious Doheny Blues Festival in California - in front of 20.000 people each time!
Anyone who´s witnessed Trickbag´s charismatic frontman Tommy Moberg whip his audience into a frenzy knows that this is about as good as it gets when it comes to live blues music. Tommy have won and been nominated for multiple blues music awards in his home country of Sweden. The band also prominently features British harp sensation Steve "West" Weston and the multi-talented Tomi Leino on guitar. Steve Weston's tone is extraordinary, as is his taste and style, and within his chosen field - old style Chicago/West Coast harp playing - he's right up there with anyone in the world today. Steve's track record includes collaborations with Roger Daltrey (The Who) & Wilko Johnson (Dr Feelgood) and he is also the nr 1 harmonica player of choice when Muddy Waters' son Mud Morganfield tours Europe! A long-time veteran of the European blues circuit, Tomi Leino hails from Finland and is quickly building a world-wide reputation as one of the best guitar players out there. He is also a talented producer, studio engineer and even world class on harmonica! Trickbag´s rhythm section varies from tour to tour but they always use top-shelf musicians on both double bass & drums and you are guaranteed to see a world class blues show featuring their own distinctive style of "Houserockin´Rhythm n´Blues" every time they perform!💥
