Late News: Grammy Winner Chubby Carrier On New Year’s Eve Show - USAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
Video: Zydeco Junkie by Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band. On December 31, 2018, Chubby Carrier (picture left) and his Bayou Swamp Band will perform on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” on ABC. Seacrest will host the five and a half-hour broadcast for Times Square in New York and over 10 million people are expected to watch! Carrier said tentative plans call for his band to play their hit, “Who Stole the Hot Sauce,” before he and other performers play the New Year’s Eve standard, “Auld Lang Syne,” to bring in 2019. Carrier formed his Bayou Swamp Band in 1989 and has since recorded 13 CDs, including “Zydeco Junkie,” winner of the 2010 Grammy for Best Zydeco of Cajun Music Album. |

Accordion Babes 2019 Pin-Up Calendar and CD - USAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
The Accordion Babes Calendar proves that the accordion is sexy with classy old-school pin-ups and an ecclectic CD. The 2019 Accordion Babes Pin-Up Calendar photo by Sean T Vallely. What is the Accordion Babes Pin-Up Calendar about? Why does it exist? Excerpts from their website: The Accordion Babes Pin-Up Calendar is the brainchild of Renée de la Prada, who was working as a street performer, professional Irish musician and accordion repair technician in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2008 when the first Accordion Babes calendar was produced. Through her job at Smythe’s Accordion Center, and through her gigs with the celtic band Culann’s Hounds, Renée got to meet hundreds of accordionists who travelled through California. One day, she was invited to do a photoshoot in the San Francisco Mission district by photographer Keith Brown. The resulting photos featured her accordion prominently, and they were sexy and raw and rebellious, very different from the accordion’s reputation as an instrument which is only for grandpas. That’s when the wheels started turning in her head. There was no place to publish these accordion photos, but there should be… wouldn’t it be great if someone published a pin-up calendar with sexy accordion photos? Wouldn’t it be an amazing vehicle for promoting indie artists, if it also came with a compilation CD? Renée kept this idea in the back of her mind and handed out her business card to dozens of female accordion players whom she met at gigs and at Smythe’s Accordion Center. When she earned the interest of two phenomenal artists, Big Lou the Accordion Princess and Isabel Douglass, she decided to go for it. Who wouldn’t want to be in a calendar with their heroes? Smythe’s Accordion Center agreed to put up some money for an ad in the calendar… and that started a whole path of creating ad spaces, to pay for the print run with sponsorships. The first editions of the calendar relied heavily on the go-getter nature of all the Accordion Babes, who had to promise to distribute 50 copies, and sell advertising to be participants. Today it’s a little different, the print run is funded with crowdsourcing and pre-sale orders. Have a look at the link below and if you like it, please help share the link to the indiegogo campaign so enough Money can be raised to print the calendar. You can also pre-order it here, or preview the other hot accordion photos.... about 300 pre-orders is all what is needed: https://igg.me/at/accordionbabes2019/x/9730983 If you have any questions about the 2018 Calendar’s shipping, or about wholesale orders and price breaks, or for updates and general inquiries: editor@accordionpinupcalendar.com |

33rd Woodford Folk Festival - Australiaby Diatonic News |
The Woodford Folk Festival is held annually over six days and six nights, from Dec 27th through to January 1st. More than 2,000 local, national and international, artists, musicians and presenters put on over 438 acts to an audience of an estimated 132,000 people. The festival begins each year with the iconic Opening Ceremony and closes with the spectacular showcase, the Fire Event on New Year’s Day. This year will be the 33rd Woodford Folk Festival and the 24th held at Woodfordia. It is the largest gathering of artists and musicians in Australia. The Woodford festival experience is deep, rich and colourful. It is based on a vision of inclusive and creative community, culture and tradition passed through generations, expressed through story and ceremony. The site, a former barren dairy farm, has been lovingly regenerated with over 120,000 subtropical rain forest trees, orchids, ferns and sedges, planted to create a habitat for butterflies and wildlife. Woodfordia is transformed into a village that hosts over 25,000 daily patrons, performers, stallholders, volunteers and organisers. As many as 2,680 volunteers across 162 departments are at the heart of the organisation and contribute to the setup and day-to-day running of the festival. During the event, the festival is actually the 67th largest town in Australia. Each year construction begins in early December and continues up until Christmas Day. Over 450 contractors and volunteers build the village. Many come from around the world to be part of the festival build and then stay for a week after to pull the event down. https://woodfordfolkfestival.com/ |

Beginnerscursus trekharmonica spelen/Jos Lambregts - Hollandby Diatonic News |
Data: maandag 3 december 2018, 14 en 28 januari, 11 februari 2019 (6 lessen). Tijd: 19-21 uur. Niveau: beginners. Stemming instrument: C/F nhoud: Wilt u graag trekharmonica leren spelen? In deze beginnerscursus van zes lessen leert u uw instrument kennen en eenvoudige melodieën spelen. U leert een melodie spelen op gehoor en met behulp van bladmuziek. U hebt voor dit instrument geen muzikale kennis of ervaring nodig en ook zonder speciaal talent speelt u al snel een deuntje. Toch vraagt ook de trekharmonica doorzettingsvermogen en tijd. Vooral de coördinatie van de rechterhand, die een melodie speelt, en de linkerhand, die de ritmebox bedient, is niet voor iedereen gemakkelijk. Docent: Jos Lambregts is een enthousiaste trekharmonicaspeelster die van meerdere genres houdt, waaronder Nederlands, Frans en Italiaans. Ze speelt al lange tijd mee met Gezelschap Goet ende Fyn. Bij Jos komt speelplezier op de eerste plaats. Meer informatie: info@trekharmonica-adam.nl http://www.trekharmonica-adam.nl/show.asp?pagina=70&submenu=5 |
Diatonisches Akkordeon, von der Tradition zur Neuen Musik mit Riccardo Tesi - Deutschlandby Diatonic News |
03. Januar 2019 18.30 Uhr bis 06. Januar 2019 13.00 Uhr Dieser Kurs bietet einen Einblick in verschiedene Aspekte heutiger Musik auf dem diatonischen Akkordeon. Wir lernen traditionelle italienische als auch zeitgenössische, speziell für das Akkordeon komponierte Musikstücke und befassen uns dabei sowohl mit technischen Fragen (Verwendung des Balges, lineare Cross-Technik, Fingersatz, Koordination etc.) als auch mit der Interpretation (Ornamentik, Ausdruck, Staccato und Legato etc.). Viel Raum soll der Harmonik und der Komposition mit dem Instrument und seiner Verwendung in nicht-traditionellen Kontexten gewidmet sein. Dies ist eine besondere Spezialität von Riccardo Tesi. Der Workshop richtet sich an Musiker, die die Grundtechniken beherrschen. Kenntnisse der Musiktheorie sind nicht erforderlich. Erforderliches Modell: G/C ohne Gleichtöner mit mindestens acht Bässen, oder erweiterte Modelle. Bitte möglichst ein Aufnahmeinstrument mitbringen. Die Unterrichtssprache ist Englisch. Riccardo Tesi: Pistoia, Italien, ist international anerkannter Akkordeonspieler und Komponist. Er gilt als einer der kühnsten und maßgeblichsten Musiker der europäischen Weltmusikszene und als der Großmeister des diatonischen Akkordeons in Italien. Riccardo Tesi hat einen leicht erkennbaren, sehr persönlichen Stil. In seinen Kompositionen verwendet er sowohl archaische als auch moderne Elemente, bewegt sich innovativ und stilsicher von der Tradition bis hin zu Anklängen von Minimalmusik, und erweitert so den „Wortschatz“ und die Technik seines diatonischen Akkordeons. Riccardo Tesi ist ein musikalischer Pionier, der für das Akkordeon, das lange Zeit nur als Traditionsinstrument betrachtet wurde, Anerkennung auf der ganzen Welt auch im Bereich zeitgenössischer Stilrichtungen gewonnen. Riccardo Tesi hat in seiner über 35-jährigen Karriere mit Weltmusikkünstlern wie Elena Ledda, Justin Vali, Kepa Junkera, John Kirkpatrick und Patrick Vaillant, mit Jazzmusikern wie Gianluigi Trovesi und Gabriele Mirabassi sowie mit großen Songwriter wie Ivano Fossati, Fabrizio De Andrè und Gian Maria Testa zusammengearbeitet. www.riccardotesi.com Anmeldung: https://www.burg-fuersteneck.de/kursprogramm/folk_bordunmusik/fuerstenecker_bordunale/19-33301/ |

Andreas Gabalier & Band 1.12.18 - Graz/Austriaby Diatonic News |
Stadthalle Graz, 01.12.2018, 20:00 Die Erfolgsserie des Andreas Gabalier reißt nicht ab: ausverkaufte Arena-Tourneen, monatelange Charts-Platzierungen, Auszeichnungen wie Echo, Bambi, Amadeus und Auftritte in den größten Stadien – man kann sagen, dieser Mann hat es geschafft. Angekommen ganz oben in der Musikszene ist es ihm wie kaum einem anderen Künstler zuvor gelungen, sein ganz eigenes Genre und den unverwechselbaren Stil im Trachtenlook zu etablieren. Die Mischung aus Pop, Schlager, Rock'n'Roll und eingängigen Melodien kommt an und lädt zum Mitsingen und -feiern ein. Seine Fans sind zwischen 8 und 80 und dass Musik verbindet und als universelle Sprache gilt, erlebt man selten so, wie auf den Konzerten von Andreas Gabalier. Er ist der derzeit erfolgreichste Musikact der deutschsprachigen Szene und schaffte es in den letzten Monaten mühelos, die größten Stadien zu füllen. Nach 3 Jahren geht der steirische Superstar im Winter 2018 in gewohnter „Mountainman-Power" und in Begleitung seiner VolksRocknRoller-Band mit seinen Fans auf Live-Tuchfühlung. Wenn Andreas seine Harmonika und seine Stromgitarre im satten VolksRocknRoller Sound aufheulen lässt, wenn er dazu seine Lederhosenhüften schwingt – dann geraten die Fans vor der Bühne geradezu in Ekstase! Das will sich keiner entgehen lassen - am wenigsten Andreas Gabalier selbst! Tickets für die Gabalier-Hallentour 2018 sollte man sich rasch sichern. Denn Mister „Hulapalu" ist live einfach ein unvergleichliches Erlebnis! |
