Those Darn Accordions Set to Rock At Cotati Accordion Fest

Those Darn Accordions close out America's Premiere Accordion Festival in Cotati this Sunday, Aug 21 at 6:15.  TDA promises to deliver a high energy set of snappy originals and "bellowized" classic rock standards.  There's no better time to be had anywhere this weekend in Northern California.

This is typically a slow time of year for TDA so I've been spending some time tickling the ivories of my grandma's old upright piano. This is pretty much how a TDA song starts out. I've put 4 tunes up on my YouTube channel in case anyone wants to check them out.

TDA At The Palms Playhouse

We are back at the Palms Playhouse in Winters, CA this Friday. We're excited to have Carri back with us and we've dug into the songbook for a few TDA classics. It should be a rocking night! Showtime is 8 pm.

Pink-Wigged Pig Will Rock for Food

This pink-wigged pig plays guitar about as well as some of the punk rockers you'll see on nightclub stages. Now, if they could teach the porker to play accordion, they'd be onto something.

"Santa Lost A Ho" Helps Out in SF

"Santa Lost A Ho" is starting to show up again. Here it was closing out a fundraiser in SF at the 18th annual "Songs of the Season".  Makes me feel good that I can help out in my own nutty, musical way.

Holiday Gift Paks From TDA

The Holiday Gift Paks seem to be a hit with the accordion lovers out there. I'm not surprised, it's a pretty insane deal.  Check it out here.
