On his last day alive, Jimmy, played by James Carrozo (Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar), will show his estranged brother, salt-of-the earth caretaker, sharp-witted death doula, an obituary writer, a cosmic being, and the guests at his FUNeral that sometimes the art of living is the art of dying. The film also features Ricki Lake and Debra Wilson.

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio conjures the smoky 1960s jazz stylings of Jimmy Smith and Baby Face Willette, and the snappy soul strut of Booker T. & The M.G.’s, The Meters, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Charles Earland. Within the trio’s distinct jazz stew, are also dashes of Motown, Stax Records, blues, and cosmic Jimi Hendrix-style guitar.

Social media, the news, annoying friends... It can leave a person wanting to scream 'Shut the eff up!' Legendary drag entertainer JACKIE BEAT, ever the lady, simply holds a well-manicured finger to her overdrawn lips and quietly begs, DON'T SPEAK.

The album just debuted on multiple Billboard Charts: #1 on the Contemporary Jazz Album chart, #3 on the Jazz Album chart, #4 on the Tastemaker Album chart, and #12 on the Heatseeker Album chart.

'It's The Hangmen he wanted to kill... we got run out of Cactusville,' laments Bryan Small on the album's title track of The Hangmen's seventh album. Flanked by longtime members Jimmy James (guitar), Angelique Congleton (bass) and newcomer Jorge Disguster (drums), Small recollects the harrowing tale of a gig in Tuscon promoting their major label debut. 'It was such a formative trip for us as a young band. There was death, drugs, booze, guns, girls and rock n' roll... and we met some new friends along the way.'

BWW Review: 110 IN THE SHADE at The Gateway Theater is a sweet and poignant romance set in a 1936 drought-stricken Southwest town praying for a miracle of rain.

It's been a whirlwind year for the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio since the release of their debut album, Close But No Cigar, last March. That LP topped Billboard's Contemporary Jazz Albums Chart upon its release, while their limited red-vinyl 2018 Record Store Day release Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio Live at KEXP! sold-out immediately online and in shops from coast-to-coast (sparking a later re-pressing on black vinyl). Speaking of this KEXP in-studio performance, the YouTube video of the session recently exceeded 5 million views, while the Seattle-based instrumental soul/jazz threesome have been amassing a wealth of new fans, both here and abroad, with their heavy tour schedule. Toss in massive radio play across the globe and it's safe to say that DLO3 have made quite a name for themselves in a very short time. 

Down North lead vocalist Anthony Briscoe leans into a song like his life depended on it, a veritable force of nature who channels the spirit of legendary showmen like James Brown, Michael Jackson and Sam Cooke (not to mention arena-rock strutters like David Lee Roth and Steven Tyler). His crack bandmates in the Seattle-based band -- guitarist Nick Quiller's fiery psychedelic blues-rock riffs, drummer Conrad Real's muscular, balls-to-the-wall pounding and bassist Brandon Storms' rock-solid slap bottom - create a thoroughly modern hybrid of arena-rock bombast crossed with soul revue danceability. The hefty Briscoe is light on his feet - thanks to years of training in ballet and modern dance.

After years of playing in bands that inevitably fell apart, as bands so often do, keyboard player Delvon Lamarr landed in a different kind of group: one founded by his wife and manager, Amy Novo. She created the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio so her husband could fully focus on the things he does best: writing and playing music.
