Schwaiger’s Hammond Club

In the organizer's words:

Schwaiger's Hammond Club is formed around the legendary Hammond B3 from the 1950s as a fresh vintage organ trio. With Thomas Schwaiger on manuals & pedals, Tom Förster on tenor saxophone and Christoph Holzhauser on drums, they create rock-solid Hammond funk, often paired with unexpected improvisational journeys through music history. Pious songs are followed by nasty grooves, and vice versa. You can look forward to songs from his own pen such as Fisherman's Duck, Les Jardins de Saint-Hubert, Mind The Bobby Car and Bäckerlehrling Siebenglück.
