Dave the Accordionist

Professional piano accordion playing defines this Melbourne act, across styles running from jazz and folk to zydeco, klezmer, tango, gypsy, French and Italian music, plus old-time singalong and cabaret. Dave the Accordionist helped start the band The Band Who Knew Too Much, and spent four years playing as a health musician at Royal Melbourne Hospital. Sing-along sets run regularly for aged care and elderly citizens clubs. A live score for the silent film The Sentimental Bloke has taken the act's accordion work to Europe, Asia and the US, and credits extend to the Australian stage production of Warhorse.
