Elizabeth Wisler, Music Around the World
Overview
Elizabeth performs on a Roland Fr8X virtual accordion. When it is connected to an external sound module, she controls the sound module to produce accompanying sounds, voices, and drum machine parts. The outcome adds richness and fullness to the accordion and Elizabeth becomes her own one person band!
Repertoire includes Italian, French, Spanish, Latin, German, Greek, other Ethnic, Jazz Standards, popular music from the 20′s-60′s, light classical, and holiday music.

October 16, 2024Fantastic!
Terrific with communication, Elizabeth arrived on time, seamlessly set up and played continuously for Dad's 90th birthday party. We had a much larger crowd than expected, and she monitored the sound level just perfectly. As an added treat, she recorded and shared a video of the event so Dad can enjoy her lovely music as he wishes. I highly recommend engaging Elizabeth for your event!

Thank you, Shad and Diane for inviting me to make my first time history with Oktoberfest at your lovely residence.
I was really impressed with the atmosphere and the environment and the people and your decorations and your food. You had everything there for a fantastic afternoon!
Hopefully next time I can play on your raised stage with lights that would be cool!
Enjoy the rest of the year. Will be thinking about your kindness and hospitality
Sincerely,.

Thank you, Chris so much for your kind words. I would love to come back again to do another theme.
Here is the last hour of music, captured one of the residents doing a Charleston with her walker as I played some
vintage 20s music.

What to expect
Elizabeth, Virtual Accordionist, brings her individual artistry to audiences with candor and expression. Elizabeth generates curiosity and unpredictability everywhere she performs because the sounds from the Roland FR-8X V-Accordion (a sophisticated midi controller) can produce simultaneous orchestral voices. One is able to hear other instruments on the accordion such as tenor sax, vibes, strings, acoustic bass, guitar, organ, mandolin, piano, flute.
When connected to the accompanying Roland BK-7M Backing Sound Module, Elizabeth becomes her own unique and extraordinary one person band producing rich and full sounds.
