I am excited beyond measure to present Cody McSherry in concert!  I was introduced to this young man when he was but 10 years old.  His talent at that time was evident. He has grown exponentially both musically and personally over the years, participating in accordion events on a national basis.

We in the accordion community are so proud of his efforts. A student of our own Mary Tokarski, Cody created this concert for the CAA And the American Accordionists’ Association. 

Cody’s bio in his own words:
Cody McSherry is a 17 year old accordionist from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He has been studying Piano Accordion for 11 years, Styrische Harmonika for 9 years, and C System Chromatic accordion for 2 years.
