On March 19, 2023: Matt Tolentino will perform for the San Francisco Accordion Club meeting via ZOOM.

Sharing his birthday with Fred Astaire, Matt Tolentino was born May 10, 1985. Some say he was born 80 years too late, but Tolentino will argue this is not the case, as his mission is to preserve traditional music for the modern audience for years to come.

Matt has made it his life’s mission to perform and preserve pre-swing American popular music – hot jazz, ragtime, and the roots of swing, as well as traditional folk music. As a true multi-instrumentalist, he plays accordion, piano, banjo, guitar, tuba, clarinet, saxophone, and vibraphone.

Matt lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, sharing his 1890 Victorian with his wife Danielle, their Chihuahua Doo-Dad, and a 1952 Kaiser DeLuxe.
