About Me
Change of adminHello, I am The Lonesome Organist.
This site was previously run by a kind person who set it up as a "fan" site. I will now administer it. I hope to get the myspace/lonesomeorganist url soon and this site will be moved there if I do get it. I have added some embedded video which I hope you will watch. Please drop me a line if you like...
Best regards,
Thee LO.Aug 1st '07
Ok, It seems that myspace/lonesomeorganist is not going to be available. As a result I will now conduct biz at http://myspace.com/thelonesomeorganist please join me there. I will continue to maintain this site because most people currently seem to think that this is me anyways. Thanks,
The LO.The Chicago musician Jeremy Jacobsen, better known as the Lonesome Organist, is a true one-man band. His simultaneous proficiency with a wide variety of instruments -- including the organ, drums, guitar, harmonica, toy piano, tap-shoes, and steel drum -- makes his music suitable for a variety hour or a circus show as well as a rock album. Never lacking in novelty, the Lonesome Organist mixed styles such as rock, yodeling, blues, circus music, and soundtrack music on his records. On his 1997 album, Collector of Cactus Echo Bag, and his 1999 album, Cavalcade -- released on the Thrill Jockey label -- Jacobsen used such a variety of instruments and arrangements that almost any musical genre could be pointed to as a likely influence. In his live performances, Jacobsen was no less eclectic, playing as many as four instruments at once and rapidly switching styles from song to song. However, the Lonesome Organist has not always been lonesome. He collaborated with bands such as the Blues Explosion, 5ive Style, and Euphone.-All Music Guide
