Delvon Lamarr Organ Trioor as it is sometimes referred to, DLO3specialize in the lost art of feel good music. The ingredients of this intoxicating cocktail include a big helping of the 1960s organ jazz stylings of Jimmy Smith and Baby Face Willette; a pinch of the snappy soul strut of Booker T. s and The Meters; and sprinkles Motown, Stax Records, blues, and cosmic Jimi Hendrix-style guitar. Its a soul-jazz concoction that goes straight to your heart and head makes your body break out in a sweat. Live, the bands fiery and intuitive chemistry is unstoppable, brimming with improvisation, instant composition, imaginative takes on classic tunes, and a booty-shaking back catalog of soulful gems.The band features organist Delvon Lamarr, a self-taught virtuosic musician, with perfect pitch who taught himself jazz and has effortlessly been able to play a multitude of instruments. On guitar is the dynamo Jimmy James who eases through Steve Cropper-style chanking guitar, volcanic acid-rock freak-out lead playing, and slinky Grant Green-style jazz. From Bellingham, WA is drummer Julian MacDonough (who also was the first drummer to sit down with Delvon Lamarr when he played the organ for the very first time, they were also in a band together called Megatron). Julians hi-energy drumming can create an enthusiastic visual experience. Delvon and Julians undeniable chemistry is unparalleled in comparison creating a unique experience at every show.Since its humble beginnings in May, 2015, the trio has issued two Billboard-charting albums and a 45; toured nationally and internationally, and performed on live at Upstream Music Festival broadcast by KEXP that garnered over 7 million views. In the near future, DLO3 will be releasing a bevy of new music come fall and winter 2020. DLO3 is part of the hip Colemine Records family, is booked by the prestigious Kurland Agency, and is managed, owned, and operated by Delvons staunchly supportive wife, Amy Novo. Amy has been lovingly nicknamed Shortcake Mafia as a tribute to her sweet but shrewd business acumen.
