Video: Creosote – Streamed live on Oct. 9, 2020

In this video, Jamie Maschler and Gabe Hall-Rodrigues discuss the dynamic range and ability of the accordion. Maschler and Rodrigues are both seasoned musicians and have individually and collectively mastered their craft of performing, arranging and composing on the accordion.

Creosote is their dynamic accordion duo with renowned Seattle accordionists. They create original and Brazilian music inspired arrangements with a unique and endearing twist. They have performed at several accordion events throughout the country, perform regularly in Seattle and recently were featured performers at the National Association of Music Merchants’ (NAMM) Museum of Making Music. 

In November 2018, the duo competed in the Trophee Mondiale in Loule, Portugal. They represented the U.S. with original pieces and arrangements for the accordion.Jamie and Gabe met at Petosa Accordions in Seattle, WA where they both currently work selling, teaching, and repairing accordions. The duo is currently working towards opening the Emerald City Accordion School and recording their first full length album by the end of 2020. 

Gabe and Jamie are looking forward to competing in the 2020 Trophée Mondial De L’accordéon taking place online this year. We wish them good luck!
