It’s the most accordionic time of the year! Our plucky little Accordion Noir Festival of the squeezy arts started as a Geoff Berner concert and darned if we won’t go out that way — hopefully many years from now. In the meantime, we are presenting a bill of three solo squeezy performers as part of […]…

Last night’s episode of CFRO’s weekly, hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast was intended to showcase and highlight squeezy music at the upcoming Vancouver Folk Music Festival, but Bruce couldn’t find any in the program this year!

The latest episode of CFRO’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast is a curious exploration of two extremes, energy-wise, starting with 40 minutes of upbeat dance music and ending with a very long, meditative exercise in deep listening.
