LIS WESSBERG feat. VERONIKA RUD

– New Nordic jazz with depth, intimacy and sonic poetry

Trombonist Lis Wessberg and vocalist Veronika Rud come together in a captivating musical world where the melancholy of jazz, Nordic lyricism and improvisation blend into a vibrant and moving concert experience. Drawing on Wessberg's cinematic and atmospheric compositions, the two artists create a sound that moves between the intimate and the expressive – the delicate and the powerful.

Lis Wessberg has long been one of Denmark's most prominent jazz musicians, earning widespread acclaim for her releases with the band Yellow Map. The albums Yellow Map (2021) and Twain Walking (2024) have both received five-star reviews in Denmark and internationally. Her warm, expressive trombone playing combines influences from Miles Davis and Chet Baker with modern soundscapes reminiscent of Talk Talk.

Veronika Rud is a singer and composer based in Aarhus. She is known for her warm voice, commanding stage presence and ability to blend melancholy with playfulness. Her debut EP, released in 2024, attracted considerable attention and received extensive airplay on P8 Jazz. Through her collaboration with Wessberg, she brings a new vocal dimension to an already rich musical landscape.

On stage, they are joined by an outstanding ensemble featuring some of Denmark's most experienced and charismatic musicians:

Steen Rasmussen – piano
Jesper Thorn – bass
Jeppe Gram – drums

Together, they create a compelling concert experience filled with melodic trombone lines, expressive vocal storytelling and an atmosphere that ranges from deeply lyrical to intensely captivating.

Lis Wessberg feat. Veronika Rud released the album In The Wake of Blue on April Records in spring 2026.
