Since there, we’ve necessarily experienced a month of delays before being able to get the weekly episodes of our hour-long accordion music broadcast to you folks out there in cyberspace.

The evenings grow chill again, the mornings thick with dew and fog, and a massive harvest moon loomed in the sky last night. We don’t have to tell Bruce it’s autumn, he’s already been told. He reflects upon this annual turn of the seasons in this week’s episode of our weekly alt-accordion broadcast. If […]…

A month ago I alerted your regular Accordion Noir host Bruce Triggs that “Weird Al” Yankovic had just released a new polka medley to celebrate the ten-year anniversary 🗓️ of the release of his “Mandatory Fun” album, and maybe ours would be the kind of speciality radio program that might air it! Bruce doesn’t do […]…

Here’s a little breather, a music-focused episode of Accordion Noir between two weeks leaning on guest interviews. Last week Bruce chatted with Emily-Rose Šárkova, and next week he’ll be talking polkas (again) with “Weird” Al! This week, though, he just played his standard mellow mix of outstanding squeezebox recordings. If your Apple or Android (o…

(Note: despite the obvious superficial similarities in names and appearances, phonographs and gramophones are different things. One is the horned music player that plays from wax cylinders, and the other is the horned music player that plays from flat records. Like mixing up a VHS and a Betamax — very different!) Not content to rest […]…

The wild thing about a festival of the age and breadth of scope of our Vancouver Folk Music Festival, is that in addition to the main draw — all the incredible international performers demonstrating their regional specialities typically not on tap locally — also if you go by the “merch table” tent, you have one […]…
