Those Darn Accordions At Cotati Accordion Fest

Well Alright! TDA has been added to the Saturday line up at the Cotati Accordion Festival on Aug. 17. We go on at 2:10 pm, but get there early and plan to stay all day (and the next!) to hear some great accordion driven bands. Cotati is always a blast and a great place to learn everything you ever wanted to know about accordions!  See you there!

Christmas Jug Band Still Looking for Santa's Lost Ho

Here comes The Christmas Jug Band! We're back again with some fun shows in Northern California. Check out the schedule and all our music on the Christmas Jug Band website. You'll find "Santa Lost A Ho" and a bunch of other clever Christmas tunes to brighten up your holiday and get your toes a-tappin'.  Ho, Ho.........hey where'd the other Ho go?

Christmas Songs (Again) For No Jingle!

Over the years, playing with the Christmas Jug Band, I've penned enough nutty Christmas tunes to just about fill Santa's sack. This year I've put them all on a page for free listening and download. You can get 'em Right Here.  Happy Holidays everybody!

Here Comes Oktoberfest!

It's getting to be that time of year again. Let the Oktoberfests begin! TDA is heading back to Mammoth Lakes, CA on Sept 22 to kick off our bellows and beer season. Then we head up to OR for 3 dates the following weekend.  Get more info on our Tour Page. In meantime, enjoy a Glass of Beer with TDA and Drew Carey.

Cocktails In Tehran!

I see that Cocktails In Tehran has been uploaded to YouTube by UFO Jockey (great handle, BTW). A real pleasure to hear Carri belt this out again. We never did this song live, though it was intended to be a showcase for her amazing voice. What a performance!

Squeeze This-The Book

Everybody knows that Those Darn Accordions' first CD is called "Squeeze This".  Just released is a new book about the history of the accordion in America entitled, you guessed it, "Squeeze This!".  Rumor has it that Those Darn Accordions has quite a few mentions throughout the book.
