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

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2024-02-14: Tony Cedras and African Diaspora Accordion
Anyone can celebrate Valentine’s day by putting together a program of accordion love songs. But it takes our rare galaxy brain thinking to observe the date by memorializing South Africa’s recently-deceased Tony Cedras by putting together an African diaspora squeezebox playlist. You won’t get this content anywhere else. (Present company excepted.) If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) […]

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2024-02-07: Four Stars in February
We can’t take a bold principled stand every week… some weeks, we just play accordion music. (“Just”, as if that wasn’t enough!) This week’s theme is “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 14 songs that have four stars, from Bruce’s 26,000 track accordion library.” So please find an extra high-quality hour of our standard melange of varied squeezy musics, with a […]
Customer Reviews
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.
