DTF: Deitch, Teitel, Fribush

DTF (Adam Deitch, Ari Teitel, and Sam Fribush) hits the Rabbit Hole at 1AM Wednesday night, April 29 — and you already know it’s going to be fun, wild, and a little out of control. The perfect show for the ones who keep going, going, going… 

Rising star organist Sam Fribush and guitarist Ari Teitel (The Rumble/Dumpstaphunk) have joined forces with Lettuce drummer Adam Deitch to craft a groundbreaking organ trio album that merges vintage funky soul-jazz with modern hip-hop production. Their highly anticipated debut LP, recorded straight to a vintage Tascam tape machine at Colorado Sound Studios, was released in May 2025, offering a fresh take on the classic organ trio format.

The project grew from a deep-rooted musical connection between Greensboro native Fribush and Detroit-born Teitel, who first met while performing at a church in Uptown New Orleans. Fribush, a New England Conservatory graduate, has built a reputation for his soulful organ work and collaborations with artists like Charlie Hunter and Hiss Golden Messenger. His ability to seamlessly blend traditional jazz with modern grooves has made him a sought-after musician in the contemporary jazz scene.
