SUNDAY, FEB 14 - THE ANNUAL HOLIDAY SHOW

 

Because we care, we have created this handy flow chart to better enable you to determine whether or not you should attend our Annual Valentine's Day Show.

True, it is filled with both songs of love and of anti-love.

True, it is in the cozy, cozy Living Room at 154 Ludlow street, just by the F train.

True, there will be drinks, so you can either get your date tipsy or drown your sorrows.

True, Walter will tell a story.

But if you still are asking yourself "Self, should I go?" we offer you the flow chart to guide you.

Others may be asking themselves "Selves, what if it sells out, like it does every year?" Fear not, advance tickets are available here.

Now in its third year, Make Music New York, “the largest music event ever to grace Gotham” (Metro New York), is a festival of free concerts in public spaces throughout the five boroughs, all on the first day of summer.

From 11 in the morning to 10 at night, musicians of all ages, creeds, and musical persuasions — from hip hop to opera, Latin jazz to punk rock — perform on streets, sidewalks, stoops, plazas, cemeteries, parks and gardens.

Along with the hundreds of individual concerts, MMNY will introduce a new project this year called “Mass Appeal,” where hundreds of musicians band together to perform massive pieces written for a single type of instrument --
such as THE ACCORDION.

AND YOU CAN JOIN US!

How?
Easy! Email Bob Goldberg at famousaccordions@earthlink.net, to RSVP and inquire about the accordion forest. You can also ask him for a copy of the sheet music we'll be playing, or you can download all the sheet music here (.pdf). Then show up with your accordion.

When?
SUNDAY JUNE 21st 5:00pm   No rain date.

Call time is 4:00pm for all volunteer players to set-up on site.

*The first part of the program is the debut performance of “Neighborhood Suite”, a site-specific piece written by Bob Goldberg, and you will get directions what to do for this, when you arrive. *The second part of the program includes a play-along with the Main Squeeze Orchestra using the sheet music.

Where?
The Old Stone House in JJ Byrne Park,
5th Avenue & 3rd Street,

HALLOWEEN SHOW @ JOE'S PUB

MAIN SQUEEZE ORCHESTRA & THE LAST OF THE INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOYS

Bandleader Walter Kuehr (accordion, bassoon, backup vocals) originally from Hamburg, Germany has been part of the NYC music scene since his arrival here in 1990. He started The Last of the International Playboys in the mid '90s. Walter has gathered together some of the most accomplished jazz and latin musicians in New York today: Memmo Accevedo (percussion), Michael Arenella (trombone), Steve Bloom (guitar), Mark Giammario (drums), Steve Gluzband (trumpet), Craig Rivers (tenor sax, soprano sax, flute), Jennifer Vincent (bass). "The Main Squeeze Orchestra is a New York City-based, dozen-plus, all-girl accordion troupe that overflows the scales of feminine virtue in the name of song. More sugar cube than vegan icing, they do cabaret and camp along with all the bellows' best, while dressed, coiffed, and rehearsed like some Central European Berry Gordy fantasy. " - Village Voice

Accordions love summer, love going to the pool and doing back flips and eating snacks from the the snack stand as you dry in the sun. The trick to summer is to live each day of it like it will never end even though you know it will. The Main Squeeze Orchestra will help you fake yourself out into fully living up the summer by casting the spell that only an all-female, all-accordion orchestra can cast. Completely accordion versions of everything from classical pieces to 80's pop are a primer for all the pleasures of summer --bike-riding without your shirt on, gelato in the afternoon, slightly hungover brunch in outdoor seating, that impossible hell of all stenches outside East Broadway and Jefferson St. Ah... summer.
