CEDRIC BURNSIDE + DELVON LAMARR ORGAN TRIOJoin us in the open air for the season's rawest and most musically honest double bill. The evening will span from Cedric Burnside's soul bearing, history bridging Hill Country Blues to the feel good Soul-Jazz fusion of Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio.
Cedric Burnside
The blues is music for all epochs, and Hill Country blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter Cedric Burnside is widely heralded as an exemplar of the genre’s timeless prescience about American life. Spanning three decades, Burnside’s work holds the legacy and future of North Mississippi’s sound stories, telling ancestral blues stories that honor the region’s heritage and ensure its future. These stories, monumental and everyday, at once African and American and Southern and Mississippian, document the human condition and the Black American experience, from the genre’s birthplace.
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio
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). Julian's hi-energy drumming can create an enthusiastic visual experience. Delvon and Julian's undeniable chemistry is unparalleled in comparison creating a unique experience at every show.
