ABOUT THE BAND:
It only took 37 years!
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.
“Go see these guys. Early and often!”
– The Sound Podcast
The debut gig was just a month before COVID shutdowns, but the horse was out of the barn and the response was immediate!
“An incredibly hot band”
– The Buffalo News
Highlights of the band’s short life to date include:
* Three-set booking at 2023 Summer Camp Music Festival
* Two sold out shows at Babeville’s Ninth Ward January 2023
* Voted New York’s top emerging band (out of 64 bands)
* Appeared on the mainstage at Borderland Music + Art Festival (Jason Isbell, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, TAUK, The Revivalists), Rochester’s Lilac Festival (w/ Anders Osborne and Jackie Greene), Lincoln Hill Farms (w/ Andy Frasco and the U.N.) and more

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