I am an experienced and young accordion player who seeks to enliven your wedding, birthday party, corporate party, anniversary or any other event where an accordion is needed. My repertoire consists of mainly: Italian, German, Indian, Russian, Americana, and a bit of French, Spanish, Persian, Mexican, and Spanish songs; although I also play "Oldies" American tunes, including Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. If you are not in San Francisco, but in the Greater Bay Area (about 50-60 miles outside of SF) then I will be glad to make it. I also offer flexible and discounted rates!
Good performance. Polite and interacted well with everyone. Knew plenty of songs. His father was great help too. Would definitely hire him again for an event.
My guests at our Annual Holiday Toast Reception thoroughly enjoyed the unique musical presentation offered by Lorenzo. I heard many positive comments about how much fun it was to have an accordionist as that is not something they encounter often. Lorenzo communicated before the event, showed up on time, inquired about my expectations, and integrated so well with the mood of the event. I highly recommend him for any event.
Lorenzo showed up on time and was so kind, gracious and made our event very successful. The atmosphere that he provided put everyone in the spirit of our event - we cut into a 400 pound wheel of Crucolo cheese from Northern Italy. Our customers and our staff had so much fun. Lorenzo brought life into our day and we had a much more successful event because he was there. His music was excellent. We will definitely have him back nest year.
Lorenzo was great to work with from start to finish. He was on time and professional. He takes pride in his work which shows. He elevated our Oktoberfest party to another level as it felt like we were back in Germany. I plan to book him again! - Geoff
Amazing timing and professional person. Lorenzo was such a hit at the event we had. Will definitely be calling him again. Such a kind person, did EXACTLY what we had hoped and more. Thank you so much!
Lorenzo was absolutely fantastic. We wanted to surprise my elderly mother-in-law with an afternoon of accordion since she used to play. Lorenzo treated us to a lot of great old songs, he took time to talk with us and answer all the questions we had about his accordion. He's friendly, engaging, and has a sense of humor. We brought out MIL's old accordion and Lorenzo played it for us. I highly recommend him!!
Lorenzo is on his way to becoming a local legend.
His performance at our holiday party for St. Francis Hospital staff was the event of the season.
Such a great time with Lorenzo!
Just what we were hoping for and then some! Lorenzo fit the bill for a house party that deserved a great accordion player that was also a great San Franciscan. We had a fantastic time and will not forget this night. I highly recommend him for your future events.

Response from Accordion Music by Lorenzo:
It was a lovely San Francisco evening, perfect for an accordion serenade as old friends chatted amongst each other in the ushering out of an era in the city's history. Thank you again for the opportunity.
We loved Lorenzo’s company. He was amazing. He totally engaged the crowd. He played all kinds of songs, we were very surprised that he knew quite a few Indian songs too. Totally recommend him.
Response from Accordion Music by Lorenzo:
बहुत धन्यवाद मेरा प्यार मित्र ! आप और अपने पति दो उदार लोगों हैं। मुझे आशा हम जल्दी ही फिर मिलेंगे इंशा अल्लाह। अपके साथ भगवान हो !
My husband and I had a gender reveal party and we really wanted to show case our Mexican/Italian culture. I wanted to have some live music for the party, and I found Lorenzo. He really made my party special and it wouldn’t have been the same without him there. He was great at communicating with with me weeks before the party. He learned some Spanish songs on the accordion and was always trying to accommodate me, when I was requesting music that I wanted played for the party. Not only was he reliable, but he is also, a very talented musician. The celebration was great! and Lorenzo really helped make it special for us. Thank-you Lorenzo!
Response from Accordion Music by Lorenzo:
Thank you, Anna. Your wonderful set of family and friends made attending the event and entertaining, extra special. I was thrilled to be able to play my classic Italian tunes, in addition to those songs of my newly-discovered Mexican heritage. I hope we can do it again in the future - maybe for the next gender reveal :) Thanks again.
Lorenzo is a pro! Super easy to work wirh, personable - and very talented! He provided wonderful background music for our backyard party.
We look forward to bringing him back again soon!
Response from Accordion Music by Lorenzo:
Thanks so much Roseann! You really put on a fabulous party, and I was so happy I got to be a part of it. Hope to see you again, and please give my regard to your lovely guests. Enjoy meeting them all! What a nice circle of family and friends you have.
Grazie Mille! Lorenzo
Lorenzo played non-stop for over 2 hours. His playing put everybody into a happy mood. There were a number of singers at my party and he played a great accompaniment for them all. This was an Italian birthday party and Lorenzo knows them all. I would say Lorenzo made this party a success and very special event, and that without him it would have been just another party. Thank You Lorenzo from the bottom of my heart. You are terrific!
Response from Accordion Music by Lorenzo:
Thanks a million, Phil! I too enjoyed being in the company of such distinguished singers and kind people like yourself. I’m glad everybody enjoyed themselves and had the opportunity to sing, even dance, and re-live old memories. Mille Grazie, Phil! Happy Birthday! And I hope to see you again! Lorenzo.
He was just what we were looking for.
Response from Accordion Music by Lorenzo:
Thanks Sue! I had a phenomenal time entertaining the guests! Thanks again!
I was shocked at this young mans talent and how personable he was with our group. I would totally hire him again for an event! He was very sweet and his music totally added to the ambiance of our Oktoberfest Picnic.
Response from Accordion Music by Lorenzo:
Thank you again, Natallie for a beautiful time! I very much enjoyed entertaining everyone at the Oktoberfest and would certainly love to play for your company again in the future! Molte grazie! Lorenzo.
Our Church held its's first Oktoberfest and it was a success due to the great music and personal attention Lorenzo gave to our guests. Elsie, 99 years old , was especially impressed. She knew the names of the songs he played. Then she started requesting and he knew every song he requested. This kind attention was give to all of our guests. Lorenzo's father attended also and was a great asset also. We would love to have him return to another function. Everyone loved him.
Response from Accordion Music by Lorenzo:
Thank you very much Angie!
My gratitude cannot be expressed as to how much I appreciated the opportunity. I really loved getting to meet all of the congregation, especially Elsie. I look forward to returning one Sunday for Mass and getting to see you again!
Thanks again,
Lorenzo
Lorenzo was very friendly with the guests. He went around the tables asking for any special requests and made the guest feel important.
I would certainly recommend him to my friends and family.
Thank you Lorenzo

I have memorized hundreds of songs. I am fully capable of playing as long as adequate pay and respect are applicable. My rates are certainly up for negotiation! I do not request food, but if you insist, I will gladly take it.... If you would like a or many specific songs, than feel free to request and I will see if I can find sheet music for your request. Thank you!
I am born and raised in San Francisco, CA and have been playing the accordion for eleven years and am well experienced with the instrument and its various functions. I have played many events, such as birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate parties and others. The music I play is a mix of European, with a special focus on Italian and German. My heritage is Italian, Polish, and Swedish. I am also the author of four historical books, and have previously been part of orchestras and jazz bands. I look forward to playing your event!
There is no requirement for technical services. The way you'd like to project and present my music is entirely up to you. You can put me up on a stage or stuff me in a corner, I am just fine, and do not demand special attention.
