Sam Fribush Organ Trio

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.
