Greazy Keyz

Greazy Keyz is a much beloved musician with a cult following in the City of Charlotte. Famous as a stadium organist, he sits behind the mighty Bojangles Coliseum keyboard at every Charlotte Checkers home game. He provides both musical entertainment and crowd energy making him central to the stadium vibe. In his 9+ season with the Checkers, Greazy Keyz has become a local sensation.

As the players line up, looking left at the flag, they see a man with long black hair and dark sunglasses. He may look like any other hockey fan in his Checkers jersey, but he’s the only one with a powerful organ at his fingertips. As Greazy Keyz plays the Organ he hits every note with precision and adds a little flair to keep things interesting. He receives a loud round of applause after every rendition, and he keeps rocking during the game with a range of diverse tunes.

A good hockey game is about more than sports; it’s about energy and passion. Greazy Keyz has those attributes in bucketloads, and the crowd is very much on his side. He’s the coolest man in the Coliseum during every game, and fans have made him one of their own. By his own admission, Greazy is not a huge sports fan, but in a city that lives and breathes hockey, he has become one of Charlotte’s most important players.
