✅ Voted NY’s top emerging band (out of 64 groups) in 2021
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 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!
“Making waves in the scene…blazed their way through propulsive instrumental compositions”

“Fast-rising band…decades of musical telepathy shine through”
