Overview
Thanks for glancing my way. I am an accordionist of varying styles, from Polka to Tango, French to Italian, Mexican to American Standards, and as they say, "But wait, there's more". I play as a single, but also can add a Tuba, an Upright bass player, clarinet, saxophone, drums and more. In addition, I play guitar, piano, bass, should that need arise. I love to meet, entertain and play for people. Playing professionally since 1987, I have played from here to Toronto, Wisconsin, Albuquerque, Lubbock, Philly, Baltimore, Washington DC and throughout the Southeastern US. I would love to play for you and your event. Please right with any questions. Thanks, John Keith aka Johnny Accordion

What to expect
I am musician by nature and love an audience. Whether playing solo or with one of my bands, we like to play music to get the toes tapping, the feet dancing and crowd singing along, though we can of course play in the background if that is what you would like. I/We are serious musicians who believe music is about all of us having a good time, a night to remember. From Italian to French, German to Argentinian, American Standards and more, we can provide a wonderful theme to your event. And for those whose pleasure is Polka, please see the Polka Twins on another Gigsalad promo kit, featuring me on Accordion and Vocals and Nick Rosaci on Tuba. I look forward to hearing from you.

I, and we, play with verve, but always professionally and to the tastes and needs of each special occasion, and we would love and be honored to play for you.
Additional booking notes
Our needs are very simple, we have all the gear we need for all except the largest of occasions. I just need to know, when, where and how loud.
