For the past seven years, the Voodoo Organist has been spreading his gospel of salvation through sin all over the country. He tours constantly, and has played over 600 shows from coast to coast. He's shared the stage with many great acts, including Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, Black Heart Procession, Bob Log III, Captured! By Robots, Stan Ridgway and Hasil Adkins. For the first 4 years he did everything himself, including booking, releasing cds, press, promotion, etc. He has released 6 cds, and has racked up over 150+ press articles. His songs have been featured in the indie horror movies Return of the Living Dead 4, Die You Zombie Bastards, and 100 Tears. He performed as a solo act for the first three years until he enlisted drummer extraordinaire Robin Kennon. Although just a 2-piece, they make the racket and have the energy of a full band. VO's sound is hard to categorize, yet instantly recognizable. Playing everything from industrial waltzes to drunken mambos, from garage punk gospel rave ups to swinging exotic demonic blues, the Voodoo Organist will steer your conga line straight to hell, and you'll be dancing like the devil the whole way down.

OUIJA
Is there someone there? Is there someone there? Come talk to us tonight. We’re asking for the dead to speak, It’s only us . . .my wife and me. Come tell us how you died.
The oracle moved about the board A figure-eight reply. The oracle started slowing down, then stopped . . . above the Y.
Tell us more, tell us more, what brought you here to me? Tell us how you died tonight. Tell us when you died tonight. Tell us what brings you here tonight. Keep spelling it for me.
The figure eight continues and around the board it moves. It’s slowing down, it’s slowing down. Come, spirit, talk to me right now, Tell us tonight, because we want to know . . Then the oracle stopped on the letter O.
You’re coming in so very clear, Now tell us why you’re roaming here, on this dark and stormy night. Speak to me, speak to me, Travel through this board to me. Tell us why you sleep tonight beneath your resting tomb. Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me now. Then the oracle stopped on the U.
Y-O-U, Y-O-U, this isn’t making sense. You spelled out, YOU is this what you meant to do? Then the oracle stopped on YES.
