Watch a classic Laurel and Hardy Film at The Fire House Pipes on North Plum Street in Union City with Justin Nimmo. Great concert pipe organ music and more all at the Fire House Pipes.
Justin Nimmo, was born in North Tonawanda, New York, the famous home of the Rudolph Wurlitzer Co. Although he began his organ studies on an electronic organ at age 5, it wasn’t until he was 13 years old that he had his first opportunity to play a real theatre pipe organ. Invited to attend an open console session at the historic Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda, Justin was thrilled to get to play the Riviera’s Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ. Recognizing his interest and talent, the Niagara Frontier Theatre Organ Society allowed him access to the Riviera organ to practice and further develop his theatre organ style. At the “young” age of 16, Justin was officially named as one of the house organists for the Riviera Theatre where he was regularly featured playing overtures and other programs.
Following his successes at the Riviera, Nimmo was invited to play overtures for the classic film series at Shea’s Buffalo on the large 4/28 Wurlitzer Theatre Organ. He has also appeared as guest organist at the Ohio Theatre in Columbus, Ohio, performing overtures for the Ohio’s film series on the large 4/33 Robert Morton Theatre Organ.
Nimmo resides in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he is a member of the Central Indiana Chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society. He has been employed by Carlton Smith Theatre Pipe Organ Restorations since 2004 where he has diversified his theatre organ interests to include the installation and service of theatre organs. Justin is a 2005 and 2006 recipient of a scholarship from the American Theatre Organ Society and has studied with renowned theatre organ teacher John Ferguson.
