    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2024-04-17: Mary Beth Carty award show & Co-op Radio Fund Drive

    After another little glitch, we’re back, with an hour-long episode celebrating the recent win of the Canadian Folk Music Award for Antigonish County’s own Mary Beth Carty, who we’ve been boosting here since the Myspace days (Squeegees!), plus more squeezy music along a similar vein. If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted […]

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2024-04-03: April And Another Thing

    Nothing is easy for poor Bruce, and the well-oiled operation of his getting these episodes out into the world and online is really starting to run up against rather more friction than we are accustomed to. (Maybe we shouldn’t have skimped on that bellows replacement after the first 500 thousand miles! Really it was just […]

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2024-03-27: Back From Beyond (If This Works)

    Bruce’s technological issues we have recently reported on have only grown more acute as he attempts various remedies for his troubles, which have impacted our ability to get the program out to you, our faithful listeners, in a timely fashion.

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2024-03-13: 17th Anniversary of the Vancouver Squeezebox Circle

    Something happened last night, and this week’s episode of our Accordion Noir broadcast failed to go out over the air in time to celebrate the occasion your host Bruce had planned for: the observance of the 17th anniversary (!?) of the first congregation of the Vancouver Squeezebox Circle, which has continued meeting up for the […]

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2024-03-06: Next Time in March

    Every week we share an hour (at least!) of accordion music in various styles representing different traditions from around the planet… and some of our episodes feature sub-themes that, sometimes retroactively, are surprisingly often informed by strange puns and wordplay. For this week’s program, host Bruce confides: This week’s theme is “Things with March in […]

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2024-02-28: It was Guy Klucevsek’s Birthday Monday, so we played a bunch of random tunes

    Our Accordion Noir host Bruce Triggs is experiencing some kind of computer collapse (new computer, not old — so he can’t go forward and he can’t go back) in slow motion, making every episode he painstakingly splices together on it a kind of exquisite torment. (I would reach out to our listenership for help, but […]

I love accordion, and...

I LOVE this show! Great tunes showing just what this versatile instrument can do. Music from traditional to punk! Yes!

A rare find

I like that there exists a podcast of accordion music, a lot what he plays is new and interesting if not enjoyable. But I wish he didn’t talk so much and didn’t proselytize.
