Mario Tacca and Mary Mancini were headliners at the “Seventh Anniversary Celebration” of the Long Island Accordion Alliance (LIAA) on Wednesday, August 2, 2017 at La Villini Restaurant in East Northport, NY.

Once again this duo came through with another fabulous program of vocals (I Wish you Love, Firenze Sogna, And I Love You So, Send in the Clowns, Brindisi From Traviata and Precious Lord Take My Hand) and great accordion instrumentals that included some of Mario’s original compositions and also a French waltz and Dizzy Fingers.

What is so very interesting and note worthy is that this team always comes through with mostly all new material – a different repertoire. That takes work and dedication and speaks to their “dedication and professionalism.” Bravo Mario and Mary!

Mario and Mary will revisit the LIAA later this year (November 1st).

The September 6th featured artist for the Long Island Accordion Alliance (LIAA) will be Emilio Magnotta.
