The Shawn Pfaffman Organ Trio
Shawn Pfaffman Organ Trio (SPOT) cooks up Southern Soul, Funk and Jazz whisked together to create a mouth-watering plate of tasty down home goodness. Main course includes soulful originals with a side of reimagined ear candy from greats like Stevie Wonder and Thelonius Monk.
“If you’re looking for a show with energy, tons of heart and instrumental licks that might melt your face, then SPOT is for you. I found myself getting lost in the completely unique arrangements in the best way possible…as if it was the first time I had ever heard these familiar songs. I didn’t want it to end.”
