Overview

I'm a FUN singing accordionist/keyboardist/pianist specializing in fun versions of pop, rock, polkas, christmas/holiday, TV themes, & more! Perfect for Singing Telegrams and concerts/parties/events for all ages.
Many you'd never expect to hear on accordion! Lots of my pop & rock songs are with a polka beat! Most of the songs I perform are in my "SETLIST" in booking section.

On piano/keyboards, I can perform my own compositions as well as all in my songlist. And most any other song on advance request!
I also record & send custom videograms & concerts! Can probably do LIVE zoom or facebook performances also! Ask me anything!
- Botielus
p.s. I appeared on Season 2 of “America’s Got Talent”

Hands down the BEST person I could have chosen for our party. From the second he walked through the door to when he left, it was pure entertainment.

Squeezebox Hero did an amazing job. He knew how to work the crowd with fun, engaging banter in between songs. The guests and families loved the sound. We had our event outdoors so he was free to be outgoing and play his heart out! Reactions from the crowd ranged from hand-clapping, toe-tapping, dancing to sharing memories that the songs brought back. Played a variety of songs from various genres. I would book him again!

Amazing experience, Squeezebox a legit Hero

Squeezebox Hero was awesome! My brother is the kinda guy who has everything & still happy with nothing - so it’s pretty hard to come up with gift ideas. Going with a singing telegram was definitely a hit, and Bo made it a birthday he will not soon forget. My brother facetimed me right after smiling ear to ear wearing this goofy balloon hat lol. He absolutely loved it. If you’re thinking about doing something like this for someone trust me go with the Squeezebox Hero he’s got the vibes you’re looking for.

Excellent Communication

Bo the SqueezeBox was great to plan with. We are in Canada and were trying to set up something in Vegas. Unfortunately it did not work out, on our end, not Bo’s. Bo was great with communication, tried hard to make our surprise work out and even offered to add a Canadian twist to our surprise. I would definitely try connecting with Bo again in the future, and would recommend him based on his professionalism just from our conversations!

Over the Top

Squeezebox Hero is a true entertainer. He arrived early, setup quickly and quietly, and was unobtrusive until he was scheduled to play. My group loved him and want him to come back. He played a wide variety of music and had everyone singing along. His price is fair and reasonable and he certainly gave us more than our money's worth. You will not be disappointed in hiring him. He performed for a group of senior citizens, but do not let that stop you from hiring him for a younger crowd. He played oldies but also played current music, polkas, sing-a-longs, top billboard music and everything in between.

You Get More Than What You Pay For

To begin with, I contacted the Squeezebox Hero with an odd request, hand delivery of resumes and performance for a potential job. While I did have some requirements, he filled in a lot of blanks with improvisation. Given that I did not live in the city, he over delivered by thinking through some of the hurdles and coming up with some great alternatives. Finally, he created that buzz I was looking for with the decision makers at the company and some of the employees. If ever in Las Vegas and you need a true professional, Squeezebox Hero is your Man, Band, and Performance Hero.

What to Expect

l can perform with various setups, from a capella with just my accordion and boisterous voice all the way to full stage concerts. For Singing Telegrams with my accordion, I can dress in a fun costume or nice, normal, suit/tuxedo type. Some of my current costumes are dorky colorful guy, pirate, silver hat sparkly cowboy with cape (or no cape, other cowboy hats), cop, and even a full yellow duck costume.
For concerts, I can provide my own small/medium HIGH quality sound system for smaller venues and parties! When performing full concerts, I use my "world's smallest backup band" (custom background tracks in my iPad!).
