Raindogs is a Danish/Norwegian/Swedish tribute band dedicated to the music of Tom Waits, formed in 2003. With over 250 concerts across Denmark and Norway - ranging from small bars to major festivals - the band has built a loyal following through annual Danish tours. Fronted by Ole Johnny Stensland, whose voice does full justice to the originals, the six-piece covers Waits' career from his early country- and jazz-tinged records to his more experimental later work. After a break between 2009 and 2013, the band returned to sold-out venues and has toured Denmark regularly ever since.
Raindogs has announced a new Denmark tour in October 2026 as well as another tour in March 2027.
The band completed a Denmark tour in May 2025 as a follow-up to the January/February tour the same year.
Raindogs performed at Kulturhuset Islands Brygge in Copenhagen on January 28, 2025.
