 The ‘Monsters of Accordion 2008’ tour takes place throughout the Western United States during August. Accordionists Jason Webley, Mark Growden, Amy Denio, and Duckmandu, plus a variety of special guests, share the bill for what they call “ten nights of squeezebox mayhem from Los Angeles to Seattle”.The ‘Accordion Monsters’ do not play a program of polkas, but will be delivering five evenings of squeezebox-fuelled drinking songs, punk rock covers, experimental pop, dark tangos and sultry dirges. "I meet so many amazing accordion players in my travels, and I thought it would be really fun to bring some of the best together," explains Webley, who organized the tour. Referring to the fact that the players on this tour all perform rock and world music to young audiences, and have international followings, Jason Webley comments: "These things move in cycles, you know. I can foresee a day when playing the electric guitar will be a laughable thing, and people will be embarrassed to admit they ever took guitar lessons as kids." The ‘Monsters of Accordion’ are playing from August 14th to 23rd in cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Eugene, Portland and Seattle. Their dates are: August 14th - Church House Theater, Santa Rosa 15th - Safari Sam's, Los Angeles 16th - 12 Galaxies (21+), San Francisco 17th - 21 Grand, Oakland, CA 18th – Octagon, Garberville, CA 19th - The Black Sheep, Ashland, CA 20th - Wow Hall, Eugene, Oregon 21st - Kennedy School Theater, Portland, OR- 22nd - Caterina Winery, Spokane, Washington - 23rd - Fremont Abbey (upstairs), Seattle, WA Accordion Monster Master Classes: August 17th, 3pm - 21 Grand, Oakland, CA 24th, 3pm - 1412 Gallery, Seattle, WA For further information email: jason@jasonwebley.com |
