Official organist for the Boston Bruins From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ron Poster is an American musician known for being the official organist for the Boston Bruins, a position he has held since 2001.[1][2] Poster also played organ for all Boston Celtics home games from 2011-2013.[3] As a stadium organist, Poster prides himself on being able to play the right song at the right time in a fast-moving game, and being knowledgeable about current popular music.[4][5] Like other stadium organists, Poster uses social media to interact with fans in real time.[5]
Poster got the job working for the Bruins after meeting their team’s director of game presentation at an event where he was working as a public address announcer in 2000.[5] They talked about hockey for a while and Poster showed him what he could do on the organ.[5] The next year, he was invited to audition before Bruins management and he was hired.[5] His organ is located in the upper levels of TD Garden, six stories above the actual rink.[6]
Poster attended the Berklee College of Music.[7] He has played in a wide variety of situations including as an accompanist to dancers at the Boston Conservatory, being the music director for a popular dinner boat in Boston, and playing for events at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts.[7] He also has had regular weekly gigs in Boston, playing at Les Zygomates Bistro and with Ron Poster & The Sinatra Ambassadors at Lucky’s Lounge, while also performing with his band, the Ronnie Ron Trio.[4][5][8]
