Where are you looking to hire an accordion player?
The accordion was developed in Europe during the 1800's. It was originally designed as a sort of portable organ. Also referred to as a 'squeeze box', the accordion is played by pushing and pulling bellows in and out while simultaneously pressing keys. One type of accordion is known as the Cajun accordion, and is a vital part of Cajun music. An extremely versatile instrument, the accordion can play music ranging from Irish Polkas to Italian folk songs to Beatles tunes to classical music. Accordionists have performed with major classical orchestras such as the New York Philharmonic and the Boston Pops. In popular music, artists such as Billy Joel and Bob Dylan have featured the accordion in their music. Accordion players are frequently hired by restaurants to stroll from table to table. You may see an accordion player at a German beer festival dressed in lederhosen and an alpine hat, or at a French sidewalk bistro entertaining guests while they dine. If you want to add a romantic, Old World Europe feel to your next event, or have your guests sing along to the festive sounds of Irish Polkas, consider hiring an accordion player today. |
