The Vancouver Squeezebox Circle accordion drop-in and song-sharing session meets March 5, 2025 from 7-9:PM at the Longhouse Church, 2595 Franklin (corner of Penticton), East Vancouver – lots of free parking and good bus access. You are welcome to play or just listen.



The Vancouver Squeezebox Circle shares: If you are coming to play, take a look at the song list near the top of the Music page on our website, squeezeboxcircle.org – you may want to download/print and practice these songs ahead of time. Or come with other songs in mind – songs from the copious music library on the website, or songs that are new to us – if you want others to join in on new songs, please bring 10-12 copies of the music for sharing. (Or teach us to play by ear). 



Note that while the Circle is free to attend, we do ‘pass a hat’ at the end to help us with the costs of holding this event – cash is welcome, but we also accept donations via credit or debit cars, Apple Pay, etc.

Also note that we’re not the only accordion event in town. Our website has a Calendar page that tries to list over accordion-friendly events taking place. For instance – coming up in March 2025:
