Keys (Torsten Roehre)

Torsten Roehre (Keys)

Torsten realized as recently as he was 20, which value the music has in his life. At the age of 7 he started with organ lessons. After two years, Torsten got teached privately to expand his capabilities. With nearly 13 years, he decided further to grow musically by his “new” musical idols like Toto, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Jon Bon, White Lion, etc. . So he created his "traditional" and added Hammond-playing and developed his technique by playing piano. This was also the bridge to his professional occupation as a piano maker and concert technician. During the next few years Torsten played in various cover bands, ( "Bourbon Street", www.bourbon-street-online.de ) where he got know the guys from "Silent Force"(www.myspace.com/silentforceband). This was followed by a record deal, own records, tours and concerts in Europe, USA and Japan with bands like Stratovarius, Angra, UDO, Kamelot, Blind Guardian, Ed Guy, etc ... Since then, Torsten got orders for various projects and concerts as a keyboardist with his “snotty” Keyboard- and Hammondsound and actually he will rock on with Mr. J.R. Blackmore! When he is not on stage, he works in his studio "Taste of Audio" 2012 Now he is on the Keys from J.R.Blackmore (jrblackmore.com)
