Mr. Blotto was born in Chicago as an off-night vehicle for musicians who loved each others playing but were in different bands at the time. The only rule was that they would only play what they loved. That philosophy continues today and has led Mr. Blotto into unique musical situations.

Mr. Blotto takes the Jam band asthetic into areas unfamiliar to the standard Jam Scene. They have been known to cover entire albums by Led Zeppelin and the Who as well as perform entire shows of Country and Reggae. Artists as diverse as the Grateful Dead, the Flaming Lips, Willie Nelson and The Velvet Underground have seen their material interpreted by Mr. Blotto in the 2000+ shows the band has performed in the last 15 years, yet covers only pepper the bands hefty catalog of original material stemming from five studio albums and other unreleased crowd favorites.

“The Humble Organisms blend old R&B, jazz, and funk with traditional jazz forms to create a powerful and energetic modern Organ Quartet. The group is mostly influenced by The Meters, The Deep Blue Organ Trio, Pat Metheny, Stevie Wonder and Sly The Family Stone. Their signature arrangements of Boston, Pearl Jam, Michael Jackson,Stevie Wonder, Adele, Steve Miller Band, Roberta Flack, Bill Withers, and Earth Wind and Fire tunes will have you grooving!”
