About Me:
A nationally recognized accordionist, DiGiuseppe is known for his fiery and emotive playing, and is equally at home performing Irish tunes in a pub, French musettes in a cabaret, contra or Cajun music for a dance, or in the intimate setting of a concert hall.
DiGiuseppe plays for contra dances and in concert with his bands FootLoose, The Tribal Tune Twisters, and Contrazz. He presents concerts of songs and instrumental pieces in a duo with guitarist Danny Gotham and with his new ensemble Craicdown.
As a singer and storyteller, DiGiuseppe presents fun and informative family and educational concerts for schools, museums, libraries, etc. In addition to accordion, he plays mandolin, banjo, Irish cittern, Appalachian dulcimer, guitar and concertina.
DiGiuseppe has released three recordings showcasing his playing on music from Celtic, Parisian and American traditions. Reviewer John O'Regan of Ireland wrote, "...a player of immense talent and vision, David is a musician worth encountering."
DiGiuseppe is also featured on four releases with his band FootLoose and appears on numerous CDs backing other musicians.
DiGiuseppe's newest accordion instructional book is "The Mighty Rhythm Machine: The Complete Guide to Mastering the Accordion's Bass Side". He has also written two extensive collections of traditional tunes arranged for accordion. All are published by Mel Bay Publications. .

I read your blog; didn't realize how versitile & versed you are! I love the music clippings and love the Contrazz. Yes somewhat wacky, but I like different types of music along with the Mideastern music.
PS... So good to "C" you at the January Jam. Hope to "C" you again real soon.
Keep the squeeze
