Do The Rump Tour

Robert’s Westside in Forest Park, IL, was the place to be on March 29, 2025, as the Do The Rump Tour rolled through town. JD Simo and Luther Dickinson, with the ever-grooving Adam Abrashoff on drums. The show promised—and delivered—a night of raw, soul-shaking blues and psychedelic jams. For Simo, a Chicago native, this performance felt like a homecoming, adding a special kind of magic to the evening.

The Show

When JD Simo, Luther Dickinson and Adam Abrashoff hit the stage, the night shifted into overdrive. The seamless chemistry made every riff and lick feel like a musical conversation. Dickinson’s slide guitar glided effortlessly, oozing with swampy grit, while Simo’s fretboard wizardry channeled raw emotion and cosmic flair. Behind them, Adam Abrashoff held it down with rock-solid drumming, delivering infectious grooves with subtle, stylish flourishes. Their set flowed like a late-night jam session, bouncing between hypnotic hill country rhythms, fiery solos, and psychedelic exploration. The blend of Afrobeat-inspired beats and Delta blues roots made for a dynamic, genre-bending ride.

Conclusion

By the final note, Robert’s Westside felt transformed—more roadhouse than venue, pulsing with the spirit of the Delta and the freedom of rock ‘n’ roll. The Do The Rump Tour wasn’t just a performance—it was a celebration of raw, unfiltered musicianship. With Simo’s Chicago roots adding a sentimental touch, the night resonated long after the amps cooled down.
