CFRO's weekly Wednesday night Accordion Noir radio show / podcast, in conjunction with local accordion rebel Geoff Berner (Klezmer Mongrels, 2009) is plotting the 4th annual Accordion Noir Festival for September 2011, trying its darnedest to redeem the reputation of the long-dismissed squeezebox.
Accordion Noir plays punk-rock classical-folk music from around the world, with jazz and an occasional token polka. Broadcast live on CFRO Co-Op Radio from the heart of the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Earth.
Please
Donate to Co-op Radio. Mention Accordion Noir so they know which show you love.
For more on Vancouver's accordion scene, go to
The Vancouver Squeezebox Circle site or join the Circle, spectators welcome (don't feel pressure to play), every first Thursday of the month at Spartacus Books, 684 E. Hastings, Vancouver.
Welcome to Accordion Noir; enjoy the squeezings!
