One of America’s favorite rock ‘n’ roll accordion bands, Those Darn Accordions, can entertain any crowd. With four accordion players out front, and bass and drums holding down the rhythm, the band pumps out an outrageously original sound that works for almost any occasion, from giant festival stages to cozy clubs and unique corporate venues.
Fronted by squeezebox wizard/lead singer Paul Rogers, the band writes many original rock and funk songs, and also explores more-eclectic musical genres like ska, country and the prerequisite polkas. The aim is always to entertain, with an emphasis on solid musicianship and an unmistakable sense of humor.Susie Davis, Carri Abrahms and Suzanne Garramone, add stunning vocals and fleet fingers to produce a sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Drummer Ian Luke and bass player Lewis Wallace round out this one-of-a-kind band.
Those Darn Accordions TV appearances include the American Music Awards (with Drew Carey), Penn & Teller’s Sin City Spectacular, Donny & Marie, Good Morning America, MTV Rock N’ Jock, Wild Chicago, Bay Area Backroads,The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon, ABC’s World News Now and many more!
