Experience a high-energy journey through the soulful power of the Hammond B3 as Richard "Sleepy" Floyd presents a dynamic tribute to the organ's legacy. This performance bridges the gap between tradition and innovation, featuring a setlist that ranges from reimagined classics by icons like Jimmy Smith and Soulive to fresh, original compositions.

Driving the low-end is the heavy-hitting Kendall "Keyz" Carter, who leans into the organ’s signature grit to provide the night's deep bass and soulful edge. Also featuring special guests, Floyd brings his signature versatility—fusing jazz, rock, hip-hop, and gospel—to a high-voltage set that celebrates the grit and groove of the soul-jazz tradition.
