BIO:

Keyboardist Sam Fribush is on the frontlines of the Hammond organ revival. Hailing from Greensboro, NC, his 2021 debut ‘Sam Fribush Trio, Vol. 1: Riverboat’ was produced by Charlie Hunter and recorded in North Carolina. Sam went on to establish himself as one of the Atlantic Coast’s freshest young bandleaders and collaborators, sharing the voice of his incredible instrument – an authentic 1958 Hammond C3 organ – with audiences and studios across the country.

“My intention is to take this music into the future. I’m trying to expand the rules about what organ trio music is.” – Sam Fribush

Sam Fribush Organ Trio released its latest LP ‘People Please’ in 2024, featuring grooves like “Ok Boomer”, “Fat Nap” and the title track “People Please”. The album expands upon the trio's deep affinity for crispy, wah-wah driven funk, hip-hop beats and sultry B3 ballads. 

The following year, Sam linked with drummer Adam Deitch and guitarist Ari Teitel to create a jazz-adjacent organ trio dubbed DTF. Their debut LP ‘Another Side of the Sound’ released in May 2025 and put a collective stamp on the modern funk organ trio. 

Sam’s collaborations with drummers like Deitch and Corey Fonville carry the authenticity of soul-jazz giants – Ronnie Foster, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Larry Young – within the pantheon of funkateers like Sly Stone and the Meters. Experience it live in concert at Sam Fribush Organ Trio, DTF and Fonville x Fribush performances in a city near you. Tour dates and details at samfribush.com.

The upcoming album reimagines jazz organ for today, blending hip-hop influences with original compositions and new collaborations,” he explains. Featuring Richmond-based producer Corey Fonville of Butcher Brown and guitarist Alan Parker, the project introduces a sound that appeals to both seasoned jazz listeners and new audiences.

People Please may be Sam Fribush’s first assemblage of all original material, but even the cover tunes on his two previous records are, for the most part, practically undetectable as such, owing to his singularly preternatural approach. “That was the point,” Fribush says. “Finding deep cuts then arranging them in interesting ways.

As a unit, DTF explores the many shades of funk in a varied collection of tunes that explore the possibilities of the organ, guitar, drums lineup.
