Direct from the USA, DELVON LAMARR ORGAN TRIO - October Tour Dates


 Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio specialise in the lost art of “feel good music.” The ingredients of this intoxicating cocktail include a big helping of the 1960s organ jazz stylings of Jimmy Smith and Baby Face Willette; a pinch of the snappy soul strut of Booker T. & The M.G.’s and The Meters; and sprinkles Motown Records, Stax Records, blues, and cosmic Jimi Hendrix-style guitar.

 

Since its humble beginnings in 2015, the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio have issued two Billboard-charting albums; toured nationally and internationally, and performed on live at Upstream Music Festival broadcast by KEXP that has garnered over 14 million views.

New BDQ 7" single - 'The Night' c/w 'Tainted Love' available to pre-order now

 

The Night/Tainted Love, is the latest 45 release from BDQ featuring Sarah Orpen on vocals, and is taken from the forthcoming album The Ultimate BDQ, for this single we decided to go big or go home, both of these tunes are our absolute favourites, and were so much fun to record.

The Night is an all time banger and an absolute floor filler, the Frankie Valli version is a brilliant tune, so we thought why not bring this album project to a close with a female vocal version, and Sarah as usual knocked it out of the park with her slamming vocal take on this fabulous classic.

Tainted Love is a tune that we all agreed would be fun to record, and we weren’t wrong its no mean feat to approach a tune of this magnitude with the full respect it deserves, the bass line thunders along driving the tune like an express train in a hurry to deliver the goods, and yet again Sarah was well up to the task, this tune fits a lot of punch into its 2 minutes 18 seconds, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do

Albums are usually released and then a couple of single releases are taken from the album, however we decided to flip this usual way of doing things on its head, we have released almost all of the tunes on 45 first, and now we are busy compiling them into the album, which i have to say is sounding great.

This release brings this covers project to a close with a bang, the album will bring all of them together as one with some updated mixes with subtle changes to the 45s. 

Release Date - June 28, 2025

Sharp Class - Ballad Of Nobody Really (Official Music Video & Heavy Soul Split Single)


Oli Orton says, "Huge thanks to Gary Knight of A.K.A The Syndicate! Gary is the reason Ballad Of Nobody Really exists. He brought a demo of the track to me, and said that he "can hear Sharp Class all over this". So me and Gary partnered up. I took Gary's demo, wrote extra lines, recorded the guitars and vocals, tweaked a few bits, and took what I had to Billy and Dec so that we could complete the song. Gary was on hand to provide the keys too!

Hope you like Ballad Of Nobody Really. Now streaming everywhere and available as a split 7" single from Heavy Soul Records."
