Lotus is a five-piece instrumental band formed while members were in college and has evolved and grown over 20 plus years. They were early adopters of using electronic beats and sounds from dance music with jam music, but also draw on psych-rock, post-rock, disco, funk and jazz. Their dance-inducing, high energy shows have made them festival favorites.
The band cut its teeth on the road building up a loyal fanbase by word of mouth. They also have released a steady stream of studio albums that showcase the band’s diverse musical tastes and production styles. The latest pair of albums, Free Swim (2020) and Citrus (2021), were tracked live in the studio and highlight the band’s groove and improvisational sides.
In 2021 Lotus welcomed new lead guitarist Tim Palmieri to the group. Tim has been a pillar of the scene for two decades known for his virtuosic playing and melodic improvisation. He has brought a new energy to the stage and will be featured on the band’s upcoming 2022 studio album.
The first incarnation of Lotus came together for a music showcase in 1998 at Goshen College in Indiana. Albums such as their debut studio release, Nomad (2006) have become a touchstone for how to organically fuse elements of electronica with jam music. Over the last two decades, Lotus has toured actively throughout the US working their way up from dingy basement clubs to world-class venues such as Red Rocks. They’ve become festival favorites, playing everything from Bonnaroo, Camp Bisco and Outside Lands to Ultra Music Festival and Electric Forest, building a hyper-loyal following along the way. The band also hosts their own annual Summerdance Festival in Garrettsville, Ohio. A Lotus live show is an experience, a uniquely crafted and improvised set taking everyone, the crowd and band, on a journey

This would be a fun gig to come see. Worth the 180 mile drive
Lotus are a very intriguing group and I think they would be a real fun live act. Have never seen them perform before. Would love to win tickets! Thank you for the chance.

Would love to go
Never saw lotus before. Would like to please.
i love this band so much that i would eat an entire pizza to myself.
Lotus is coming to Portland!!! Lotus was the first jam-band I ever saw back in 2007, saw them MANY times after while living in CO! Unfortunately, I haven’t seen them since I moved to Portland, about 10 years now… Lotus was supposed to be my last show at Red Rocks in CO before I moved to OR (2013), but a massive flash-flood canceled the show 🙁 Winning this would be quite the redemption!!! (& a celebration as my birthday is just two days before the show) <3
I’d love to go.
Them sounds seem great.
Want to take my wife out on a nice date night please.
Just hear from the POTUS… he said “ give him tickets to Lotus”! (Pretty please!)
Would love to see these guys again. Fun!
Oh dang, I would love to get down with Lotus, especially at the Crystal! Thump thump thump, bounce bounce bounce.
I first saw Lotus at All Good Music Festival in 2009 on Marvins Mt. Top in West Virginia. They plaid until the sun came up and it was one of the most memorable music memories of my life. I have seen the band many more times at festivals ads NYC but not since I moved to Portland 10 years ago. I would love to be able to share this night of live music with my husband so he can experience some Lotus magic too.
