Somerville Squeezebox Slam, Massachusetts – USAby Rob Howard |
The second Somerville Squeezebox Slam – a celebration of accordions and related instruments - takes place on Saturday June 15th, from 1pm until 6pm, in Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts. The organizer is Michael McLaughlin, and guests include Cory Pesaturo, Sandy Theodorou, Ralph Tufo, Marié Abe and Grand Fatilla w/Roberto Cassan. From 1-3pm accordionists will stroll around Somerville, ultimately congregating in Davis Sq. Local accordionists bring your boxes, band together or find your own corner and play. There are no rules! This is accordion anarchy. At 3pm, all head to Davis Sq. where Lady Kielbasia will get the concert rolling. Accordion themed art/crafts and Redbones BBQ food will be for sale. Kielbasia is an accordion playing Drag Lunch Lady. She’s been voted ‘Best Drag Queen with an Accordion’ in San Francisco, and was named Provincetown’s ‘Family Favorite’. After a long and illustrious career in cabaret, burlesque, and shameless private party entertainment in San Francisco, Provincetown, LA, and NYC, she is now semi-retired with her kitty and garden in Somerville. |
