Las Vegas International Accordion Convention Event Organizer Paul Pasquali writes: “This year the hotel is actually sold out – BUT what I did do was hold a group of rooms in my name – so there are a limited number of rooms available directly from me.

If you contact me direct, I can book the room for you at the convention rate of $39/$47 – deluxe/premium room. This small block of rooms is available until they are sold, so I am urging those who want to come, to contact me immediately at:
1-800-472-1695 (+01 486-1695) or
email me at: paul@accordionstars.com

There is going to be an amazing “Tribute to Dick Contino” and you can read all about that at: www.accordionusa.com/#art3111
and see how three stars, Grayson Masefield, Stas Venglevski and Cory Pesaturo are also part of this exciting tribute arranged by Joan Sommers (picture right) as the Finale of the 2017 Convention.

The stars listed in the banner above include Gordon Kohl who is to be presented the 2017 Honorary Director Award. He joins a renowned family of musicians in this exclusive club that includes Art Van Damme, Dick Contino, Myron Floren, Gina Brannelli, Joan Sommers, Peter Soave, Iona Reed Pukara, Walter Ostanek, Carl Fortina, Pete Barbutti, Frank Marocco, Angelo Di Pippo, Jeff Lisenby, Joey Miskulin, Stas Venglevski, Mary Tokarski, and Mario Pedone.

Gordon Kohl is a treasured performer who has supported and contributed every year of the convention since the inception and been a great role model for other accordionists. Gordon Kohl is a knowledgeable, skilled, dedicated, “multi-cultural” accordionist. His playing credentials, which include commercials, video tracks, and work with TV shows and stars, would fill an entire page. He maintains a busy schedule performing, teaching, and conducting workshops.
