Pocketship:

Pocketship πŸš€ is a Buffalo-born Future-Funk / Disco dance collective built for movement β€” deep grooves, stacked vocals, and nonstop momentum from the first downbeat to the last. Blending funk, disco, rock, and modern electronic textures, the band delivers a high-energy live show designed to keep the dance floor moving.
Featuring an 11-piece lineup with a powerhouse vocal section, Pocketship pairs tight musicianship with infectious joy, turning every room into a shared celebration β€” equal parts concert and dance party.
Step aboard β€” the funk is cleared for takeoff! πŸ’ƒπŸ•ΊπŸͺ©

Organ Fairchild:

Jam scene mainstays Joe Bellanti, Corey Kertzie and Dave Ruch met in 1983 as members of Buffalo NY Grateful Dead cover band β€œWild 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 instrumental organ trio/funky adventure seekers
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.
