Vancouver Squeezebox Circle

- All things accordion for Vancouver, BC (Canada)


Monthly Squeezebox Circle get-together  -  the next session will be Tuesday April 11, 7-9 pm (Pacific Time), Spartacus Books 1983 Commercial Drive (new location!)

It's "an informal gathering of accordions and their players from around the Vancouver region.  Some play, some watch.  No experience necessary, punk-rockers and polkas welcome."

You can watch much of the Oct 2021 Circle, aired as part of the 2021 Virtual Accordion Noir Festival!

Set up a lesson, learn a lick, share a song, plan the squeezebox revolution (it is at Spartacus Books after all.) Check out the link for homework: tunes we played at past sessions or hope to play at upcoming ones.

The Circle was started by Bruce Triggs and Rowan Lipkovits, co-hosts of Vancouver Coop Radio (CFRO)'s Accordion Noir radio show (every Wednesday, 10 - 11 pm on CFRO 100.5 FM or anytime online at http://accordionnoir.org) and are now hosted by Alan Zisman of Vancouver folk band The Gram Partisans.
