Opening in December 1976, Organ Piper Pizza has featured live theatre pipe organ music continuously since then! Featured organists over the years included Gary Sette, Gary Hanson, and a variety of well-known theatre organists including: Martin Ellis, Clark Wilson, Dave Wickerham, Barry Baker, Walt Strony, and substitute organists: Jelani Eddington, Ralph Conn and Dean Rosko.

Dean Rosko 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.

Zach Frame Zach visited the Organ Piper at the age of 5 years – the theatre organ immediately sparked his interest. At that time the featured organist was Dave Wickerham. They developed a lasting friendship, and Dave has mentored and coached Zach. 18 years later and Zach began playing at the Organ Piper! In addition to performing, Zach also has experience as a pipe organ technician and is restoring his own theatre pipe organ. Outside of the theatre organ, he has a degree in Recording Engineering from McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul, MN. Knowledge of Zach’s musical talents have spread, and he has played concerts in a variety of organ venues. Lastly, a commonly asked question is: “how old is he?” Zach’s first trip at age 5 was in 1992.

Ralph Conn 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 Eddington 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!
