Spencer Garn grew up in North Palm Beach, FL where he began taking piano lessons around the age of 7. He then played mostly punk-rock guitar in his teens and recorded on 4-track cassette! His rock, funk & soul-jazz keyboard adventures with the Hammond organ began sometime in his early twenties when he was lugging a chopped Hammond M3 around, and at some point an old & heavy chopped CV organ for gigs. Currently, he plays the Hammond SK2 on many gigs, has an A100 at home, a C3 at Diamond Street Studios (Atlanta, GA), his studio where he has also been a recording engineer and producer since around 2008.
His instrumental organ recordings have been licensed to TV shows, such as Anthony Bourdain’s ‘No Reservations,’ and various other outlets, and he continues to write and record instrumentals which highlight the Hammond organ sound. His latest studio album, and studio house band, ‘Diamond Street Players’, released an LP of funky-soul driven tracks back in 2019 which highlights the Hammond organ sound.
Currently, he has a slew of new original recordings he’s been working on with studio partner, Tyler ‘Falcon’ Greenwell (drummer w/ Tedeschi Trucks Band), and local Atlanta studio musicians! They also are recording & producing many great artists from out of state as well as local Atlanta bands. Follow the socials to check out new recordings from their various studio collaborations as well as new original material from Diamond Street Players in 2024!
When he’s not in the studio or performing he shoots photography on Fujifilm cameras and lenses, and DJI drones. Check out his links for more details about bands he’s played with, credits and info.
