Faust was the stadium organist for the Chicago White Sox for 40 years, ending her run in 2010, and her groundbreaking work has had larger-than-life reverberations. She was born in Chicago on March 11, 1947. Her mother, Jacquin, was a professional musician, and Nancy began playing the organ at age four. She also picked up the accordion-another instrument with multiple keyboards.
Faust attended Roosevelt High School on the northwest side, then earned a degree in psychology at North Park University. While still in school, she filled in for her mother on organ at events, and after graduation she booked her own gigs at hotels or country clubs, usually playing organ solo or accordion in trios with a violinist and guitarist. After White Sox public relations director Stu Holcomb saw her perform at a banquet, he asked her to take over for departing Sox organist Bob Creed
