CrowdMateHalloween weekend in Copenhagen can send a listener chasing elaborate concepts, late doors and costume parties. Mojo Blues Bar offers a compact counter-route across Thursday, October 29 and Friday, October 30: three blues-centred shows, each with a separate social shape. Frankie Sixfinger opens Thursday with a soulful early slot; the Halloween Mojo Blues Jam follows at 21:00 with its house-band-to-open-stage format; then Johnny “Rockin” Burgin BAND arrives on Friday at 21:00 with Chris Copen. The appeal lies in the progression. Start with a focused set, stay for musicians joining the room, then return for a visiting guitarist whose own story runs through the Chicago club circuit. It is a small itinerary, yet it catches blues as repertoire, local meeting place and touring language in one address. Every stop is in the same room, so the route stays legible even as its musical roles change.[1][2][3]
Thursday, October 29: an early set gives way to the jam
Begin at 19:00 with Frankie Sixfinger. The calendar places the band ahead of the Halloween programme, making the evening feel deliberately paced instead of built around a single headline moment. Frankie Sixfinger is billed in the supplied listing under R&B, and Mojo’s programme characterises the group as colourful, entertaining and soulful. That makes the first set a practical entry point for anyone who wants music before the room shifts into its later, looser phase. At 21:00, HALLOWEEN MOJO BLUES JAM v/ROXY brings Simon Ørregaard, Mathias Hee Pedersen and Julie Hahnemann into the listing. Mojo describes the event as a Halloween edition of its blues jam: a house-band set first, followed by an open stage. The venue also flags decorations and a Halloween atmosphere, placing participation at the centre of the night.[1][2]

Friday, October 30: Johnny Burgin carries the relay forward
Friday’s 21:00 Johnny “ROCKIN” Burgin BAND (USA/DK) show gives the run its clearest link to a wider blues lineage. Burgin’s official biography traces his formation through Chicago’s West Side blues scene, including time in Tail Dragger’s band and work alongside figures such as Sam Lay, Billy Boy Arnold and Pinetop Perkins. His later recordings move through Chicago and West Coast approaches, while his touring history gives the Copenhagen date the feel of a working guitarist arriving with a deep, lived-in vocabulary. Chris Copen joins the billed band at Mojo Blues Bar. After Thursday’s open-stage traffic, Friday offers a more defined band setting: a chance to hear a player shaped by club practice, songcraft and the durable circuit that carries blues musicians across Europe and the United States.[1][3]
Plan the two-night route
The cleanest route is Thursday from 19:00 through the 21:00 jam, followed by Friday’s 21:00 Burgin set. Those who mainly want the communal side of the weekend can head straight for the Halloween Mojo Blues Jam; listeners seeking a touring-band concert can make Friday their single stop. Mojo Blues Bar is at Løngangsstræde 21C in central Copenhagen, which keeps the plan simple for an after-work Thursday or a Friday night out. Bring the dates and local start times into your calendar now, then recheck Mojo Blues Bar’s official pages and Johnny Burgin’s official channels before leaving, since door arrangements, prices, lineups and timings can change.[1][2][3]
