With all due respect to Jesus H. Christ, there’s a new, shiny god in town and his name is Joe Doria. Okay, he’s not new, but this B3 guy comes dangerously close to god-like in the variety, speed and vortex of his big, shiny instrument.

To say Doria and his McTuff band’s April 1st Tractor Tavern was off the hook would be putting it mildly. In fact, it’s hard to put what they do into strong enough words.

By turns atmospheric (in a psychedelic way), pulse-poundingly experimental, and freaky Motown-good, the Western Washington band known as McTuff – comprised of Doria on Hammond organ, Skerik on sax, Andy Coe on guitar and D’Vonne Lewis on drums – rocked it out in seemingly random but spot-on (for want of a better term) riffs for most of the night, from around 9 till 1 in the a.m.

These guys couldn’t hit a bad note if they tried. The divine D’Vonne Lewis kept the beats funky-melodic and swampy, with his fast, tight rolls and his head-bobbing, syncopated rhythm. It’s hard to believe he’s a) so young, b) from here (a Roosevelt High School grad of distinction), c) self-taught, and d) producing music surpassing 10 veterans. But he worked it out.

Guitarist Andy Coe immediately drew comparison to another famous Seattle native, the late, great ‘60s rock-jazz monster-artist, Jimi Hendrix. In several stand-out solos, Coe shredded and distorted on his ax with mind-blowing precision and all-encompassing furor.

Frequently, saxophonist Skerik laid down the right jazzy notes to remind the standing-room-only crowd of his mad skills and mad credentials (an assorted mix of famous rockers, jazz and blues artists, and everyone in between).

But it was Joe Doria who made time stand still. He took charge with an unforgettable, electrifying performance through and through, coming in to smooth the edges, slide beneath and above the beats and create a few of his own. The sounds coming from his organ were – at times – inhuman, like side effects of a horror/sci-fi flick, and at other times, they were such music to our ears.

It was only well into the second set, in the middle of the strangely, dangerously hypnotic “A Shiv Is Made” that I realized with stunning clarity that Doria was also playing the bass with his left hand (for the faster notes) and his feet on floor pedals (for the slower ones). I had mistaken Coe for their bass player! Doria was so good at both. Most organists can pull off the rudimentary bass lines of any given, but simple, melody. But in Doria’s capable, dextrous hands (and feet), he pulled off complicated chords of his various bi-polar instrumentals with reckless abandon, amazing agility, and a supernatural, deft touch.

The second set also gave other musicians in the audience, like trombonist John Terpin, to fly. He and two other horn players jammed together in several memorable tunes, including the Yellowjackets’ “Revelation.”

For anyone attending a McTuff concert, revelation surely describes the experience. You’re in luck, too. The band’s currently on a West Coast tour (Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California), which kicked off on March 26th and will wrap up by April 19th. Tonight, they’ll be in Ashland, OR’s Culture Works, tomorrow it’s the Ukiah Brewing Company in CA and April 9-10, San Francisco’s Boom Boom Room with The Eric McFadden Trio.
