Zach Frame, Featured Organist |
Named the American Theatre Organ Society's "Theatre Organist of the Year" in 2022, Zach owes his interest in the theater pipe organ to his parents, and also to a visit to Organ Piper Pizza when he was 5 years old (in 1992). He released his first CD recording of the Organ Piper's Mighty Wurlitzer entitled "It's About Time" in 2018, which can be purchased in our Gift Shop! In addition to performing, Zach is a pipe organ technician and maintains the Organ Piper's Mighty Wurlitzer, he also has his own theater pipe organ which he is in the process of restoring. Zach has a degree in Recording Technology from McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul, MN. He and his wife, Emily, reside in East Troy, WI.
