About OBT

Blends of Jazz and Blues are hard to describe. Listen to OBT's Blue Dreams, and you would think that the Rippingtons are on stage. Listen to Walkin' the Dog, and you'd think Luther Guitar Jr. just walked into the room. I Got a Woman does serious homage to Jimmy McGriff with a few OBT twists for good measure. Common to all music from the Organic Blues Trio is a big, wide groove you can jump into with both feet. A wide groove with good sounding guitar and organ ..what else is there? Click on the band's clips in the playlist and see if you don't agree!

"Caught the end of their set at Sneakers.  Their rendition of my favorite Allman Brothers song, 'In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,' was great.  I couldn't believe I was listening to only three musicians.  Very full sound." -- Tom King, Editor and Publisher, Neighbors

"OBT played on our center sound stage (we had three stages) at our successful 'Festival on the Green' this fall.  Due to the weather-related postponement of the Festival by one day, OBT filled both afternoon music time slots for us.  I heard nothing but compliments ... great group!"  -- Cynthia van Zelm, Executive Director, Mansfield Downtown Partnership, Inc., and Festival Organizer.

"Wonderful blues band ... a great repeat performer!" -- Jillian A. D'Elia, Event Manager, Hartford Marathon Foundation, Inc.

"When your dancing shoes are shined and ready for Blues, Rock, Soul and Funk music, you're ready for the Organic Blues Trio!" -- Bob Bloom, Drumming-About-You (www.drumming-about-you.com).
