I play a 1966 Farfisa Combo Compact live. No guitarists, bassists or vocalists to drown out my near mint condition combo organ, although I do sometimes bang a tambourine in the best "one man band" tradition, like I do during my medley of "Wipe Out"/"Hot Pastrami"!

Featured Songs (subject to change):
House Of The Rising Sun (The Animals); Out Of Limits (The Marketts); Double Shot Of My Baby's Love (The Swingin' Medallions); Pipeline (The Chantay's); Wipe Out (The Surfaris); Hot Pastrami (The Dartells)
* All played on an original 1966 Farfisa Combo Compact organ ! ! ! *
Absolutely NO digital processing or MIDI, just the vacuum tube & transistor generated, vibrato modulated tones of a great vintage Italian organ as used by The Beach Boys, The American Breed, The Castaways, Them, Country Joe & The Fish, The Five Americans, The Ventures and many other great '60s recording artists !
Nora Spitznogle of The Broad Ripple Gazette raved: "The Farfisa was popular with rock groups in the 1960s. They were fairly portable and inexpensive. When synthesizers became popular, organs in rock bands fell out of favor. The Farfisa made a little come back in the late 1970s by Blondie, B-52’s and Talking Heads. They have been used recently by Yo La Tengo, Death Cab for Cutie and Green Day for the great retro sound. Anyway, they are cool as can be, but you don’t see them played often. It is a hard instrument to pull off solo. Paul pulled it off! He did a delightful rendition of 'The House of the Rising Sun'. Paul will be playing again...Don’t miss it."
Plus performances by Gary Wasson (Sindicato, Spud Puppies) and many excellent folk & country artists !
