The Voodoo Organist is an exotic demonic blues and hellbilly duo born from the kitschy one-man show of Scott Wexton. The current duo includes Wexton with his Hammond organ, bass pedals and Theremin accompanied by drummer and junk percussionist Robin Kennon. This two-man army of screamin' hellfire takes inspiration from vaudevillian masters like Tom Waits and Nick Cave, churning out a lights-low racket of junkyard jazz and organ-rock originals you're not likely to hear at the ballpark.
