Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, or as it is sometimes referred to, DLO3, specializes in the lost art of “feel-good music.” Delvon chooses the precise sequence of music. Here, he creates an experience for each show based on the vibe and feel of that audience. This includes the 1960s organ jazz stylings of Jimmy Smith and Baby Face Willette. Also, a tweak of the snappy soul strut of Booker T. & The M.G.’s, and The Meters.
