Born to Squeeze: 8th Edition of Accordion Noir Festival Has Sticking Power.
Vancouver, BC. – The eighth edition of The Accordion Noir Festival extends its reach, and gains tenacity as one of Vancouver’s most unexpected, boundary-pushing professional music festivals.
A fresh lineup of international and national accordion artists this year features Wendy McNeill (Spain/Canada), Angélica Negrón and Shayna Dunkelman (New York), Kate and Rich Duo (Halifax), Ana Bonbon (London/Canada), Rattletrap Ruckus (Bellingham) and Compassion Gorilla (Victoria). Featured local talents include a new-works premier by Elliot Vaughan and Elysse Cheadle, and an album release by Geoff Berner.
Audiences will participate in the growing legacy of the festival as a presenter of alternative and contemporary accordion arts with three evening concerts and daytime community events running at The Western Front, The Wise Hall and Spartacus Books.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
