Mr. Blotto: Virtual Tipsy Tuesday
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 scene. They have covered entire albums by Led Zeppelin and the Who; as well as entire shows of country and reggae. The Grateful Dead, the Flaming Lips, Willie Nelson, The Velvet Underground, and others have been interpreted by the band in the 3000+ shows the band has performed in the last 25+ years; yet covers only pepper the hefty catalog of material also stemming from seven original studio albums and other unreleased favorites.
