In anticipation of the first Friday of every month, we’ve gotten into the habit of promoting regular “Bandcamp Friday” sales, granting recording artists nigh unprecedented cuts of online music sales for one day a month. Bandcamp was just sold by Epic Games to Songtradr, and … we have concerns that the center cannot hold. But […]

Bruce is still sick, but the show must go on! Fortunately, through the medium of radio he can avoid exposing you to any risk worse than infectious tunes. This week’s episode of our program was kind of spontaneously whipped up at the last minute, but the benefit of having a substantial accordion music collection is […]

The world finally caught up with us! Despite being borderline paranoid in our precautions, Rowan finally caught whatever Covid-19 had since evolved into back in February, and your hermit-like host Bruce somehow picked it up this past week. It’s not a walk in the park, so even though our broadcast went out over the airwaves […]

Many episodes of our weekly, hour-long Accordion Noir program have no theme beyond that of our sharing the greatest accordion music across all stylistic and regional boundaries. Other episodes have an additional sub-theme. This week’s episode has two! Last night’s program is not only a promo for this week’s Bandcamp Friday — a chance for […]

This week’s episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly Accordion Noir radio broadcast is stumbling, coughing, out of the start gates. If our mascot for this program was our friend Boston-area busker Sophie’s Smokin’ Squeezebox, we would ask her if, for this week at least, the squeezebox could be smokin’ a little less. Ash and […]

Last night’s episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly Accordion Noir broadcast is now up online and available for your listening enjoyment. In addition to our baseline theme of “accordion music”, there are a number of sub-themes as this episode’s title suggests — Robbie Robertson’s death, Flogging Molly’s imminent visit to town, the birthday of […]

Here we are, it’s last night’s episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly Accordion Noir broadcast, the squeezin’-est 60 minutes on the radio dial anywhere in the world! We play accordion music of every size, shape and style, modern and classic, from every corner of the globe, and if you don’t believe us… just tune […]

Bandcamp Friday is back in effect this month (indeed, on this Friday!)

This applies to accordionists as much […]
