Overview
Looking for an accordion player near Pittsburgh? I am the perfect entertainment for your event/ party! I am a professional accordionist. I perform all over Western Pennsylvania. I've been playing since the age of 9. I play all types of music for all ages. My music is very family-friendly. I play polkas, Latin, swing, standards, sing-alongs, line dances, ethnic music, rock n roll, Christmas music, etc. I play German music for Oktoberfest, Irish music for St. Patrick's Day, Italian, Patriotic, or whatever. I also come dressed in costume to fit the occasion (ex: Lederhosen for Okctoberfest) I can play on stage plugged into an amplifier OR I can stroll around taking requests from the audience!

September 29, 2019Great Music and lots of fun!
Pat Septak recently attended our church Oktoberfest. We were very pleased with the music he provided with his accordion. He was on time, and had all of his own equipment. The selection of music was enjoyed by everyone in attendance. I heard alot of positive feedback after the event. We will definitely consider Pat for our future events.

April 28, 2019Pat is absolutely great!
Pat came to entertain at my sisters birthday party pretty much as a last minute request and he made the entire event. His musicianship is great, song selection seemingly endless and everyone loved him. We strongly recommend Pat as you next entertainer!

June 8, 2026Kind and passionate!
Pat was amazing for my sisters bridal shower. We had about 50 guests and everyone loved listening to him play. He played some really awesome songs and even helped me plan a little game with everyone to get the guest involved and they loved it! A few of my friends even asked me for his information to potentially book him in the future. I would definitely book Pat again!

What to expect
I can provide the perfect entertainment for your next party or event near Pittsburgh, I'm a professional musician/ accordion player. You can expect a very lively show when you hire me. I like to tailor my show to whatever theme is being presented. My show is very family friendly and I do take requests from the audience. I also come dressed in costume, depending on the theme of the event. Unless a specific theme is requested, I generally try to play a nice mix of polkas, standards, sing-alongs, line dances, swing, Latin, rock n roll, etc...My music will really add to the atmosphere of your event, whether I'm playing during the dinner hour or a lively dance set.
About
If you're looking for entertainment such as an accordion player for your next party or event near Pittsburgh, then please read on. I'm a broadcaster by day and a musician by night. I'm the News Director and on-air news anchor for a Pittsburgh area radio station. I've lived in Pittsburgh for most of my life, graduated from Duquesne University with a degree in Communications and I currently reside in Zelienople, Butler County, PA. I started taking accordion lessons at the age of 9 and I've been playing ever since (I'm in my mid 40's now). Here's what you can expect from me as a performer: I will give 100% to the client and to my audience. My shows are ALWAYS family-friendly. I do take requests from the audience. And I always dress for the occasion. I have costumes for German, Italian, Irish, Christmas, whatever the theme may be. I always conduct myself in a professional manner. And I promise a lively show. I play anywhere from one to four hours. I play one hour, then take a 20-minute break, then play another 40 minutes, take another 20-minute break, then play another 40 minutes, etc... If the event is for a birthday celebration, I always give the birthday person a complimentary CD of my music (just an extra bonus).
Additional booking notes
I bring my own sitting stool to my performances. So the only thing I really need is an electrical outlet for amplification (if necessary) and a small card table to place my business cards, fliers, CD's, etc.
