From San Francisco, America's favorite rock 'n' roll accordion band pumps out an outrageously original sound. With four accordion players out front, and bass and drums holding down the rhythm, they produce a sound like nothing you've ever heard before. Fronted by squeezebox wizard/lead singer Paul Rogers, the band writes many original rock and funk songs, and explores more-eclectic musical genres like ska, country and the prerequisite polkas.

Susie Davis, Carri Abrahms and Suzanne Garramone, add stunning vocals and fleet fingers to the mix with drummer Ian Luke and bass player Lewis Wallace laying down the groove.
