A
regular organist at the Piper since the 1980’s, Ralph played at the
former
Kip’s Lounge, and is heard every Saturday evening at Milwaukee's
Oriental Theatre
before the movies. He has a wide repertoire and crowds over the years
have enjoyed his warm personality both on and off the console.

Jelani
was introduced to the theatre organ at the age of eight, and not long
after, began studying theatre organ styling with internationally acclaimed
theatre organ instructor John Ferguson. Over the years, Jelani has become
one of the most sought-after artists on the circuit today. He was a
featured organist here at the Organ Piper in 1993-1994 and has now almost
20 recordings to his credit. Audiences here have always enjoyed the
artistry of this young man and we hope you will too!
