The band honors the wide diaspora of American music by incorporating the flavors of funk, R’n’B, rock, soul and even some country influence into a complete package that is noticeably their own.

Organ Fairchild: Not your grandmother’s organ trio. Organ Fairchild was voted NY’s top emerging rock band in 2021.

Rick Estrin and the Nightcats
Sportsmen’s Tavern-June 1

Hugely entertaining, intelligently conceived and executed roots rock with a wickedly cool and otherworldly twist on tradition. Estrin’s harp work is masterful.” –Living Blues
