Mary and Lynn have worked as a music duo for many years, playing a large variety of music for events mostly around the Midwest, combining the awesome sound of a piano accordion with a trumpet. Both Mary and Lynn also sing and Lynn has the added gift of being able to do a spot on Louis Armstrong imitation!! We perform for all types of events: festivals, Oktoberfests, private parties, civic organization, retirement/senior centers.

May 12, 2019What a great time we had! Ken and Mary did a fabulous job at our party, and we highly recommend them! They were both very friendly, and Mary had such a beautiful smile on her face the entire time. Definitely can see that they enjoy what they do!

May 14, 2013Ken and Mary gave us a splendid evening, with all kinds of music (as requested). They showed up on time and set up with little trouble. I would definitely hire them again.

Fantastic stage performance! We have a gold-plated hand-crafted Italian accordion combined with the awesome sound of a trumpet. Mary and Lynn are both vocalists. We can perform for your black tie events or we can costume ourselves in authentic German attire for your ethnic events (Mary can sing some songs in German). We have our own sound system to accomodate most needs and can provide some limited strolling. Styles of music performed include rag/jazz,swing,show,waltz,polkas, Oktoberfest tunes, etc. WILL TRAVEL. No job too big or too small.
Mary Drake and Lynn Fullerton are "Mary's Turbo Accordion Express," an accordion and trumpet duo out of southwestern Ohio. They strive to dispel the stereotype that accordions are just for playing oompa or polka music. Quite the contrary, they perform a wide variety of music in their concerts, with one of our most popular concerts being "Milestones & Memories," a Welk style format show that includes many songs that one would see on the Lawrence Welk shows - including big band, dixieland, ragtime, waltzes, old standard song favorites, sing-along favorites, some ethnic tunes, and polkas - to name a few. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, they throw in some songs totally unexpected! What makes their concerts so appealing includes their instrument combination and the high energy level of their performances. Mary's custom built piano accordion paired with the awesome sound of a trumpet creates a spectacular sound and a very entertaining show. They believe concerts are much more entertaining when the audience is engaged in the programs – they’ll never just stand on stage and play at them.
Mary and Lynn have performed at private parties, festivals and Oktoberfests (and they have authentic German costuming), corporate events, and they also have performed many entertaining concerts.
Mary's Turbo Accordion Express - a band that will compliment your event!!!
We have sound equipment that works with many types of venues, but we need the clients to supply lighting on the stage if the performance is outside after dark and access to a 3-prong electrical outlet or extension cord. We need to perform on a stable/flat surface, such as a stage, patio, concrete (not on grass, gravel, or plywood) and have some type of overhead cover if the performance is outside to protect from sun, rain, evening dew, etc.

There are so many great musicians/performers who have been a positive influence on our music. It's hard to list them all, but some of them include Lawrence Welk, Myron Floren, Frankie Yankovic, Eddie Peabody, the Humphrey Brothers, and Roy Clark. Our audiences are also a big influence on us. They challenge us to become better musicians and to find even betters ways to entertain.
mostly need to be located near an electrical outlet or electrical cord.
