“Joey”, the accordionist in the group Riders in the Sky, who gained fame performing at age 13 with Polka King, Frankie Yankovic, will receive the 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the American Accordionists’ Association (AAA) on September 8th. Joey will honor us by performing several of his well known selections.

The Carmen Carrozza Scholarship Fund was founded in 2002 with a $2,000 donation by long-time AAA sponsor, the late Steve Stolaruk. The purpose of the fund is to grant a music scholarship to deserving young accordionists who participate in the Carmen Carrozza Scholarship Solo competition at the AAA Festival. The winners of the 2019 Carmen Carrozza Memorial Competition are Nathan Chapeton (Open Division) and Gia Ciccone (Junior Division) pictured below.

Join us for an afternoon of great food, music and dancing with members of the Long Island Accordion Alliance, Domnic Karcic, Frank Toscano, Mario Tacca and Mary Mancini and our guest of honor, Joey Miskulin.
