Experience a high-energy journey through the soulful power of the Hammond B3 as Richard "Sleepy" Floyd presents a dynamic tribute to the organ's legacy. This performance bridges the gap between tradition and innovation, featuring a setlist that ranges from reimagined classics by icons like Jimmy Smith and Soulive to fresh, original compositions.
Driving the low-end is the heavy-hitting Kendall "Keyz" Carter, who leans into the organ’s signature grit to provide the night's deep bass and soulful edge. Also featuring special guests, Floyd brings his signature versatility—fusing jazz, rock, hip-hop, and gospel—to a high-voltage set that celebrates the grit and groove of the soul-jazz tradition.
Richard "Sleepy" Floyd is a highly versatile drummer, composer, and producer deeply embedded in the Indianapolis music scene. With over two decades of experience, he effortlessly moves between genres like jazz, rock, hip-hop, and gospel, collaborating with diverse artists. He co-founded The Native Sun, a live hip-hop collective, and actively curates music events in the city.
Beyond his musical talents, Sleepy is a key advocate for Indianapolis artists. As the executive director of the Inspire Music Collective, he empowers musicians by providing essential resources, training, and tools for economic sustainability.
