ORGAN FAIRCHILD
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!
