Reefer Madness
O’Connell & Company
Book by Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney
Music by Dan Studney
Lyrics by Kevin Murphy
There is a new menace sweeping the nation, ready to ensnare and seduce the youth and drag them down into a life of sin: REEFER MADNESS! In this hilarious, over-the-top satire, Jimmy, a fine, upstanding, All-American boy’s life falls apart because of the evil reefer. When he is tricked into taking his first puff, his life quickly spirals downward. His addiction leads him to debauchery, sin, theft, and, eventually, murder. Reefer Madness is an irreverent parody of the classic 1930s instructional film full of camp, hilarity, mayhem, and madness.

Kozmoz, also known as Matthias Seyss, currently resides in Saint Louis. With releases on Subsidia, Halcyon, Disciple Round Table and Bassweight Records, he’s positioned at the forefront of modern bass music.
The Dystopia EP, his debut on Halcyon, set a new standard for the subgenre of future riddim and featured his collaboration Autonetic with Oolacile. He also appeared on Figure’s Terror Vision tour in 2017. Kozmoz’s unique sound design continues to advance the industry, and is nouveau in a way that encompasses both suspenseful tearout and colorful bass. The utopia created within his soundscapes channels both his roots of producing and the contemporary twist that keeps his music fresh and appealing across the genre.

Organ Fairchild
It only took 37 years!
Jam scene mainstays Joe Bellanti, Corey Kertzie and Dave Ruch met in 1983 as members of Buffalo NY Grateful Dead cover band “Wild Knights,” a group that still plays reunion shows to this day.
But it wasn’t until early 2020 that they wrote their first original music together, this time as three-piece instrumental organ trio/funky jam band Organ Fairchild.
The debut gig was just a month before COVID shutdowns, but the horse was out of the barn and the response was immediate!
Highlights of the band’s short life to date include:
Featured on Spotify’s “Instrumental Funk” editorial playlist
Four-set booking at 2023 Summer Camp Music Festival, IL (15,000+ attendance)
Main stage appearance at Borderland Festival, East Aurora NY (7,000 attendance)
Full band called out of the audience to sit in at sold out Andy Frasco & U.N. show 12/31/22 Town Ballroom (1,000 cap)
Two sold out shows at Babeville’s Ninth Ward – Buffalo NY January 2023
Tedeschi Trucks Band members sit-in March 2023
Festivals and shows with Goose, Trey Anastasio Band, Umphrey’s McGee, moe., Melvin Seals and JGB, Anders Osborne and Jackie Greene, Andy Frasco & the U.N., Sophistafunk, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Sam Grisman Project, Dogs in a Pile and many more
Voted NY’s top emerging band (out of 64 groups) in 2021
Video greeting to the band from actress Morgan Fairchild
#2 on Jambands.com Radio Charts Top 30 List

But since 2020, they’ve been joined together in the pursuit of groovy tunes and juicy jams in a high-powered organ trio format.
Seriously, get ready to get down with Organ Fairchild!
