Some bands just make you want to get up and groove with them.
It’s like their music takes over your body. This soul and jazz band is one of them—their performance here has the whole crowd getting down, even if it’s only a warm-up. No wonder this went massively viral…it’s contagious!
Devon Lamarr Organ Trio (DLO3) played a warm-up set that lit the stage on fire at Little London Plane during Upstream music festival.
DLO3 is an American soul-jazz band that hit the scene in 2015 and charted at number one with their debut album on the U.S. Contemporary Jazz charts. Back in 2017, the Devon Lamarr Organ Trio played a live show during Upstream Music Fest that blew up on the internet.
The video was shot and directed by KEXP, who uploaded the performance to their YouTube channel with over two million subscribers.
At the start of the video, organist Delvon Lammar Dumas addresses the crowd before they begin ripping it up.
DLO3 jumps right in, and they start off by playing “Move On Up” by Curtis Mayfield.
KEXP’s cameraman switches from musician to musician as they all jam out. Before long, Delvon comes in with his organ and adds that extra funky sound.
Guitarist Jimmy James and drummer David McGraw carry the melody while organist Delvon Dumas improvises and makes the song unique.
After the popular Curtis Mayfield song, DLO3 switches to their own original song “Memphis.”
“Memphis” is off of DLO3’s album Concussion, it’s a super melodic and soulful song by the soul and jazz band that easily grabs the crowd’s attention. Their music is infectious, and something about it makes you want to get up and dance.
After they’re done playing “Memphis,” they switch things up to perform some impromptu music that really gets the audience at Little London Plane fired up.
For the last song they play, DLO3 decides to do an improv jam-session together that really takes things up a notch.
If they didn’t already blow the audience away with the first two songs, the third one definitely knocked them off their feet!
Guitarist Jimmy James goes off on a rampage, playing a solo that has him in a trance. With his band paying the baseline, James makes his guitar scream and it’s so exciting to watch.
After Jimmy plays a ridiculously long and fabulous solo, DLO3 breaks back into a smooth and mellow jazz beat that’s so easy to vibe to.
For the grand finale, all three musicians go crazy on their instruments and go out with a bang.
The last-minute of the video is filled with amazing riffs, funky sounds and brilliant melodies that DLO3 put on full display.
People on the internet went crazy for Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio’s warm-up show, and millions of music lovers rocked out to the groovy tunes they played.
