Biography

A chance encounter and a shared love of this special kind of music lead Steve Gadd, known for his collaboration with Paul Simon, Steely Dan and Eric Clapton among others, to join forces with saxophone player Michael Blicher and Hammond organ player Dan Hemmer from one of Denmark’s most likeable and successful bands, Astro Buddha Agogo.

Steve Gadd on the Blicher Hemmer Gadd project:

“It was our debut tour and I had a ball playing with these guys, it was a lot of fun and I think that this could become a really unique trio. The crowds were so receptive and they really loved Michael’s music and us as a band. They made us all feel very appreciated - that was really something!”

The music that Michael Blicher writes for this band is very unique and it fits perfectly to his and Dan Hemmer’s way of playing. “I grew up listening to organ bands.” Hemmer explains. “I love that kind of music. I know Michael has been listening to a lot of great New Orleans drummers, and I think he has come up with his own unique thing and the crowds loved it.”
