Putting The Stank on Steve Miller -Sam Fribush ft Tim Smith on Sax🎷Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival

20TH FALL SHAKORI HILLS GRASSROOTS FESTIVAL OF MUSIC & DANCE
OCTOBER 3-6, 2024
Keyboardist Sam Fribush is on the frontlines of the Hammond organ revival. His debut release, the SF Organ Trio, was produced by Charlie Hunter and recorded over quarantine in North Carolina. Fribush became a member of Hiss Golden Messenger in 2021. Currently based in Greensboro, NC, Fribush has brought his fonky, soulful vibe home to the town where he was born and raised.
Over the past few years, Fribush has established himself as one of the country’s hottest young bandleaders and People Please pushes the keyboardist’s music into new and uncharted territory, revealing a deep affinity for crispy, wah-wah driven funk, Hip-hop beats and sultry HAMMOND ballads. Says Fribush, “My intention is to take this music into the future. I’m trying to expand the rules about what organ trio music is.” Indeed, the album places Fribush’s music not only among the giants of soul jazz-Ronnie Foster, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Larry Young-but also in the pantheon of funkateers like Sly Stone and the Meters. Throughout the album, Fribush is joined by frequent collaborator Charlie Hunter-a guitarist that’s played an instrumental role in music culture since the late 90s -and North Carolina allstar Calvin Napper (the drummer in Maze feat. Frankie Beverly for the past 13 years), Xavier Lynn and Nick Falk. But even among his high-caliber guests, keyboardist and composer Sam Fribush lets the music speak for itself.
