Uncle Sexy and the Nephews (Acoustic) before Mr. Blotto
MR. BLOTTO
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.
Uncle Sexy and the Nephews is a rock and roll machine made from all sorts of influences such as blues, folk, country, and soul. We use Catchy melodies and story telling to capture what its like to be the average hardworking American while rippin a few solos and crushin a few beers along the way. This music is written for people and as long as those people are willing to listen, we will keep the music comin.
