For all accordionists and accordion lovers all over the world:
“Hey accordion-lovers! Jake Kouwe, the star of #PolkaKings on @REELZChannel is working tirelessly and in conjunction with Accordion USA and Accordions Worldwide in attempt to bring polka music to the masses.
We know that people who like accordions really love accordions, so take pride in playing and help us bring this most worthy instrument to the masses and “#ShowYourAccordion” by posting a photo or video of you or someone you know holding an accordion to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.”
Make sure to include the hashtag #ShowYourAccordion when you join the movement.
Public Relations Coordinator Rachel Bass said:
“Since the series is centered around a band attempting to make polka music more relevant and premieres just after the polka-filled holiday Dyngus Day (Monday, April 6) we’re aiming to gather accordion lovers and hopefully even some famous faces to help us kick off a “Show-Us-Your-Accordion” movement.
It’s all in good fun and our goal is to create a following via social media where people take pride in playing or having played the accordion and who aren’t ashamed of this most worthy instrument by posting a photo of themselves playing/holding an accordion.”
