Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio

Vintage ’60s and ’70s soul — feel good music — comes to the Hult Center Dec. 28 with the Seattle-based Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. Lamarr, who had played drums and trumpet, picked up the intricacies of the organ quickly at age 22 by observing Joe Doria, a nationally known organist-keyboardist who also is from Seattle. Lamarr’s trio, founded in 2015 and known as DLO3, has released a pair of albums and have played at festivals, including the Detroit and Monterey jazz festivals. Joining Lamarr on stage is guitarist Jimmy James and drummer Daniel “Vanilla” Weiss. The trio, one critic notes, plays with a “magnetic swagger that won’t let go.”

The Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio performs 7:30 pm Tuesday, Dec. 28 at the Hult Center’s Soreng Theater, part of the Hult’s ongoing 10×10 series. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at HultCenter.org.

Update: The Hult Center says the event is postponed.

A Note From the Publisher

Dear Readers,

The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.

That’s because of you!

Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.

Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.

We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.

And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.

None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.

As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.

Thank you for standing with us!
