In Focus: Organ Fairchild rocks Buffalo Iron Works for “Leisure Suit” album release show

Organ Fairchild, the Buffalo based improvisational three-piece band of immensely talented musicians brought their A-game for the large crowd at Buffalo Iron Works on Saturday October 7.

Leisure Suit was released in the fall of 2023 in digital, CD and vinyl formats, is the sophomore studio release from Organ Fairchild, recorded, mixed and co-produced by Justin Guip (Hot Tuna, Levon Helm) and mastered by Alan Evans (Soulive).

The night was started off with Wild Knights. Formed in Western New York in 1982, they are known for their great shows covering such acts like the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers Band, The Band and more. As they played their set, the crowd could be heard hooting and hollering during and between each and every song. The energy was high, and the room was on fire. With all three members of Organ Fairchild making up half of Wild Knight, double duty was pulled for these three.

Wild Knights setlist: Blue Sky (Allman Bros), Ophelia (The Band), Peggy O (Grateful Dead), Playin’ in the Band (Grateful Dead), Can’t You See (Marshall Tucker Band), Eyes of the World (Grateful Dead), Not Fade Away (Buddy Holly)

Organ Fairchild, formed in 2019, took the stage with libations in hand, as they cheer the crowd before setting off on an aural journey of Leisure Suit. This well written, recorded masterpiece was brought to life in grand fashion quickly. The crowd seemed to hang on every note that was played by these three gentlemen all night long. This all-original work filled the room with electricity and cheers as the reception of this band and their new album could not have been any better received. Good things are sure to come from this band.

Organ Fairchild setlist: Chamelonious Monk, Leisure Suit, Morning Coffee, He’s Gone, Bobby Pins, Glad You’re Here, The Woodturner, Over the Handlebar
