Dan Newton’s ( Daddy Squeeze) Cafe Accordion Orchestra presents “Cinema” on Saturday, May 12 at 7:30 PM – 10 PM CDT at the Phipps Center for the Arts, 109 Locust St, Hudson, Wisconsin 54016. The event will feature film clips, cartoons, and live music.

Excerpts from their website: Delighting audiences from Lincoln Center to the International Akkordeon Festival in Vienna, Dan Newton’s Café Orchestra will perform great songs heard in films ranging from the Marx Brothers to Quentin Tarantino, revised to evoke the sound of a Parisian café, with film clips, cartoons, and a silent short.

Dan Newton’s Café Accordion Orchestra (CAO) performs an eclectic mix full of French flare, Latin heat and Bohemian attitude. The heart of the CAO repertoire is the romantic, gypsy-influenced valse-musette. The group complements the musettes with swing, ballads, tangos, cha chas, rumbas, and cumbias to create a wonderfully varied show.Their high level of musicianship and passion for performance makes them an entertaining concert act as well as a great dance band.

CAO is led by Dan Newton on accordion and vocals, with Eric Mohring on mandolin, violin and vocals, Erik Lillestol on bass and vocals, Robert Bell on guitar and vocals and Joe Steinger on percussion. CAO has been delighting audiences and dancers alike since 1995. They have appeared in New York at the Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing series, the International Akkordeon Festival in Vienna, Austria, the Minnesota State Fair, as well as festivals, theaters and dance halls across the United States.

Tickets are $24 for adults and $17 for students of any age.
