This is an annual show the band does for fans back home in Buffalo NY, and Mackey’s on Halloween just feels like the perfect opportunity to give it a Midwest spin…two full sets of Grateful Dead music performed funky organ-trio style.
🔥 Don’t miss the show of the month if you’re into groovy tunes and heady improvisation 🔥
ABOUT THE BAND: Hailed as a “fast-rising NY band” by Live For Live Music, and a group that's “making waves in the scene" by JamBase, Organ Fairchild craft their organ-trio-meets-rock-band sound — described as “adventurous, vital and alive” by Glide Magazine — by synthesizing influences ranging from The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers to The Meters, Steely Dan and Medeski Martin & Wood. And when they're on stage completely captivating an audience without a bass player - and nobody singing - there is no confusing them for any other artist on today's scene.
As Atlanta’s FunkCity writes, “Get ready to be bowled over by this terrific trio - old school funk fusion with new era notions of jam.”
Voted NY's top emerging band in 2021, Organ Fairchild have gone on to:
✅ Become an official artist on nugs platform
✅ Chart #1 on Summer 2024 Relix/Jambands.com National Radio Charts (Phish was #4!)
✅ Record with Jorma Kaukonen
✅ Sirius XM Grateful Dead Channel interview and airplay
✅ Maggie Rose, Andy Frasco and Tedeschi Trucks Band members sit-ins
✅ Handpicked by Spotify for their "Instrumental Funk" playlist
✅ Four-set appearance at the final Summer Camp Music Festival in IL (15,000+ attendance)
"Blazed their way through their propulsive compositions and an excellent Grateful Dead cover" - JamBase
