Master of the console, Dave Wickerham was honored with the “Organist of the Year” award by the American Theatre Organ Society in 2011 and has toured the world to rave reviews performing his unique arrangements and peerless improvisations. Brought back annually by popular demand, Dave is a favorite of ARCA audiences – old and young alike.

Dave’s programs have something for everyone – from Great American Song Book standards, Disney and popular pieces, to waltzes, rags, marches, orchestral pieces, classical works, hymns and patriotic medleys.  His arrangements are always fresh, employing his improvisatorial ingenuity to create delightful surprises, sometimes with multiple combinations of genres in a single arrangement.

Dave Wickerham’s voicings are rich, fully utilizing the multitudinous ranks of the instrument and demonstrating the full range of instrumentation and the magnificent glory of the theatre organ – as he turns the Wurlitzer into a cathedral pipe organ, jazz ensemble, rag time band, bagpipes, and steam locomotive.  And Dave always gives the piano and percussion shelf a complete work-out!  No one can touch his outrageously genius improvisations based on audience requests given at concert intermissions – they are tour de force.
