Details
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
Main stage appearance at Borderland Festival, NY (7,000 attendance)
Two sold out shows at Babeville’s Ninth Ward – Buffalo Jan 2023
Tedeschi Trucks Band members sit-in March 2023
Festivals and shows with Goose, Trey Anastasio Band, Umphrey’s McGee, moe., Melvin Seals and JGB, Anders Osborne and Jackie Greene, Andy Frasco & the U.N., Sophistafunk, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Sam Grisman Project, Dogs in a Pile and many more
Voted NY’s top emerging band (out of 64 groups) in 2021
