    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2026-09-16: Back to School with Miss Natasha Enquist

    As the leaves change colour, Bruce’s thoughts turn to recess bells and paper bag lunches and after-school rehearsals in band rooms with photocopied sheet music on stencilled music stands. Yes, indeed, he has taken September and the return of our colleague Natasha Enquist to grad school as an opportunity to interview her and musically visit […] Accordion Noir Radio is made with Jetpack Podcast.

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2026-09-09: Back to Labour Days

    As the turn of the seasons marches on, this week’s episode of CFRO’s weekly Accordion Noir broadcast covers Labour Day lightly before telegraphing an upcoming Back to (accordion) School special Bruce is working on. If your Apple or YouTube or iHeartRadio (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to this Accordion Noir episode’s availability yet, you can enjoy […] Accordion Noir Radio is made with Jetpack Podcast.

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2026-09-02: This Year’s Bandcamp Friday in September!

    We had some challenges getting our last Accordion Bandcamp promo online in time for Bandcamp Friday, but we are prepared for the one currently in effect, today! This episode of our program focuses on the output of accordionists who have music for sale on Bandcamp and who can get a generous cut of your electronic […] Accordion Noir Radio is made with Jetpack Podcast.

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2026-08-26: Adues to Accordion August

    From the looks of the playlist (search me, the episode title is an enigma wrapped in a riddle), Bruce has taken the recent death of Dolly Parton as an excuse to air an all-women episode of our weekly alt-accordion program. Any excuse to do that is always a good one! If your Apple or YouTube or iHeartRadio (or plain old RSS) […] Accordion Noir Radio is made with Jetpack Podcast.

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2026-08-19: Nitty Gritty Titaníque

    It might be a little obvious, cliched if you will, for us to promote this weekend’s planned installment of our Accordion Noir Festival as the theme for this week’s episode of the Accordion Noir radio show. (Just as well: you can’t tell it to look out the window in the hot blue sky today, but […] Accordion Noir Radio is made with Jetpack Podcast.

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2026-07-29: Last Call For July

    They’re not appearing entirely, uh, sequentially, but here it is, the last of our run of missing recent episodes of CFRO’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir alt-squeezebox broadcasts. This one dates to the very end of this past July just a couple of weeks ago, so if you’re not fully on top of things you may […] Accordion Noir Radio is made with Jetpack Podcast.

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2026-08-12: August the Augmented

    Greetings, everyone! Bruce has recently transitioned back to DJing episodes of our weekly alt-squeezebox radio broadcast live from the CFRO studios after many years of bedroom prerecords prompted by Covid-19 closures. This transition has been accompanied by hiccups in actually getting our hands on a digital copy of what just went out over the air, […] Accordion Noir Radio is made with Jetpack Podcast.

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2026-08-05: Bandcamp Friday for What it’s Worth

    Man makes plans and the radio gods refuse to relinquish the hour of recorded audio from the logger. Bruce initially hoped for this episode of Accordion Noir to be a just-in-time accordion music buyer’s guide for the then-upcoming Bandcamp Friday on August 7th. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get our hands on the recording until today, August […] Accordion Noir Radio is made with Jetpack Podcast.

    Accordion Noir radio playlist 2026-07-15: Wednesday Comes Forth in July

    There’s a lot going on in this week’s episode of Accordion Noir — Bruce is back live on the air and apparently free-associating currents of themes as he navigates his way through his music collection. Is this episode about the current spate of warm weather, the recent folk music festival, or the discovery that the […] Accordion Noir Radio is made with Jetpack Podcast.

    The latest episode of CFRO’s weekly alt-squeezebox Accordion Noir broadcast shines the spotlight on accordionic performances coming up at this year’s installment of the long-running Vancouver Folk Music Festival, which we have previewed many times over the past couple of decades. If your Apple or YouTube or iHeartRadio (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to this […] Accordion Noir Radio is made with Jetpack Podcast.
