Ron has an established record on the national theatre organ circuit.  
Winning the 1998 “Young Organist of the Year” award, he has since gone on to 
pipe organ conventions and concerts in England, Canada and all across the United States
He has been the featured organist at Organ Piper for the past 6 years. He will also be releasing a CD on the Organ Piper Wurlitzer in later this year. We hope you enjoy the artistry and creative talent Ron shares with us!

 

 

 



Heard by literally thousands, as the official organist for the Milwaukee Brewers,Dean also plays for many roller skating competitions around the country. Please come in and enjoy the wonderful talent of this young man. 


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!
