The fastest-rising jam band in New York makes their Binghamton debut at Atomic Tom’s on Fri, March 29!

Jam scene mainstays Joe Bellanti, Corey Kertzie and Dave Ruch met in 1983 as members of Buffalo NY Grateful Dead cover band “Wild Knights,” a group that still plays reunion shows to this day. But it wasn’t until early 2020 that they wrote their first original music together, this time as three-piece instrumental organ trio/funky jam band Organ Fairchild. The debut gig was just a month before COVID shutdowns, but the horse was out of the barn and the response was immediate!

Highlights of the band’s short life to date include:

*Featured on Spotify’s “Instrumental Funk” editorial playlist
*Four-set booking at 2023 Summer Camp Music Festival, IL (15,000+ attendance)
*Main stage appearance at Borderland Festival, East Aurora NY (7,000 attendance)
*Full band called out of the audience to sit in at sold out Andy Frasco & U.N. show 12/31/22 Town Ballroom (1,000 cap)
*Two sold out shows at Babeville’s Ninth Ward – Buffalo NY January 2023

But since 2020, they’ve been joined together in the pursuit of groovy tunes and juicy jams in a high-powered organ trio format.

Seriously, get ready to get down with Organ Fairchild!
