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 has witnessed Trickbag's charismatic front man 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.

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.

Vocalist Tommy Moberg established Trickbag in 1994, setting the stage for a now 31-year run as one of the best “live” and studio outfits in Europe. Founded in Sweden, this Scandinavian group is equally adept at bringing the goods in a variety of styles including blues, old-time rock-n-roll, roots music, soul, timeless Americana, and swing. To say that the band creates a pandemonium wherever they play is a gross understatement. The same seems to also be the case with their recorded output.

Trickbag’s status as a powerhouse performing unit has resulted in them ascending to the summit of the Scandinavian blues landscape. One just gets the feeling that no matter what this band sets its mind upon, it is always strongly focused on the ultimate celebration to be experienced. Trickbag is also well-regarded for its sterling reputation as one of the premier backing bands around, having provided stellar support for, and recording music with, some of the biggest names in the blues-related fields including harmonica giant James Harman, guitar titan Junior Watson, guitar phenom Kid Ramos, soulful vocalist John Németh, Chicago piano colossus Barrelhouse Chuck, and superb guitarist Rusty Zinn, among many others.

Here indeed we find the band’s celebration of “30 years of excellence” as the “full-service blues band since 1994.” And undeniably, these 20 cuts (with two previously unreleased selections) wholly satisfy and firmly highlight why Trickbag’s brand of music is absolutely infectious. Truly, this isn’t a “best of” assemblage - rather, it is a document of secreted treasures and seasoned jewels from the band’s first eight collections to-date through 2024.

Trickbag - 25 Years Of Houserockin' Rhythm'n'Blues! (1994-2019)

11. Highway 1 (3:27)
12. Kakadoo (3:13)

Trickbag's newest album’s title 25 Years of Houserockin’ Rhythm’? N’ Blues!? might lead some fans to think that this is some kind of career retrospective, compilation or a re-hashing of older material. It isn’t. It is all brand new, original material which is a celebration of what makes this Stockholm, Sweden, based ensemble of international musicians so good.

Maybe a little trickbag history is in order here. 25 years have passed since vocalist Tommy Moberg began playing under the name trickbag. The band name came by way of New Orleans rhythm & blues pioneer Earl King and his song of the same name. Many personnel changes have taken place and as Tommy Moberg states in this album’s liner notes, “…the list is too long to mention but the recruiting of double bass player Lars Näsman turned out to be a milestone in the band’s history.” Joining trickbag in the late 90’s and playing on the band’s second album, Afternoon Mint, Näsman, along with Moberg became the driving force and creative backbone of trickbag.

Now twenty years down the road from that seminal second album, trickbag has just released their 8th album. Here they seamlessly mix blues, rhythm & blues and first-generation rock & roll into a cocktail that is irresistibly fun. One of the entertaining parts of this band is that it is a true ensemble in every sense of that word. The detailed songwriting credits reveal a true collaborative effort.

Of course, any album is only as good as the material and these twelve songs are simply outstanding. From songs that evoke a Gulf Coast R&B sensibility like Come Get It and Ida-Lee to 60’s style garage rockers such as Rimshot and Kakaddoo and nearly everything in between, 25 Years… has it all. A personal favorite is Highways 1. It is an homage to my home state where trickbag has been warmly embraced on their visits here.

Trickbag is of course Moberg and Näsman. They are joined by fellow Swedes Fredrick von Werder on piano and organ and Johnan Swensson on drums. Additionally, harp man extraordinaire, and a star in his own right, Steve “West” Weston, has for several years now been a permanent member of the ensemble. His solo album West Street was the BLUES JUNCTION Productions Blues Album of the Year in 2018. That album included Finnish guitarist Tomi Leino. Like Weston, this Helsinki based musician also has been a member of trickbag for many years. He also has a very active solo career with his very accomplished Tomi Leino Trio. His guitar playing can be heard on numerous recordings from musicians all over the world. His authoritative attack on his instrument is a big part of what gives trickbag their distinctive bravado and makes 25 Years of Houserockin’ Rhythm’? N’ Blues!? so thoroughly enjoyable.

In the blues rich part of the planet known as Scandinavia, trickbag has emerged as heavyweight champions. 25 Years of Houserockin’ Rhythm’? N’ Blues!? is the knockout punch that proves this point. This album receives my highest recommendation and is a very serious candidate for the 2019 BLUES JUNCTION Productions Album of the Year. ~David Mac
