About Sam Fribush:
Born in Greensboro, NC to a musical family, Fribush began his professional career at a young age, playing a variety of instruments including Steel Pan and Banjo.
“To me, Fribush epitomizes the old soul with a youthful spirit. Having grown up immersed in the sounds of everything from Dr. John to Tommy Jarrell, his musical sensibility has an incredibly intuitive flow, and his touch on the piano has always been beautifully unique. With that much natural talent, he wouldn’t necessarily have had to push himself to the limits he has, and it’s been a wonder to witness his evolution into one of the greatest working organ and keyboard players today. His sincerity cuts straight through every note he plays, with a heartfelt smile and mischief-tinged eyes, and his presence in any room feels like a big hug.” – Ric Robertson

In 2017, Fribush graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music with a degree in Contemporary Improvisation. During that time he worked with influential mentors like Ran Blake, Jason Moran, Jamie Saft, Dennis Montgomery III, Cecil McBee, John Medeski and more.
Fribush has recently produced and recorded music with Charlie Hunter, Lucius, Dori Freeman, Ric Robertson, MC Taylor (Hiss Golden Messenger), Joel Savoy, Viv and Riley, Taylor Meier (Caamp), California Honey Drops and more.
In 2021 Fribush joined Hiss Golden Messenger, a band from Durham, NC.
Fribush released his sophomore record ‘People Please’ in March of 2024.
PNC USCT PARK
The PNC USCT Park is the only sculpture park in the nation created to honor the United States Colored Troops and their fight for freedom. The park is located on museum grounds, which was the site of the Battle of Forks Road. Located in the park is Boundless, a life-size public sculpture by NC artist Stephen Hayes depicting the figures of 11 African American men, casted in bronze, who are connected to the site and its story – USCT descendants, re-enactors, veterans, and community leaders.
