As threatened in last week’s episode, Bruce is taking no chances with social isolation, so he pre-recorded this week’s episode of Accordion Noir radio at home. Consequently, it is available for online listeners a little earlier than usual! (Of course, if our listeners are so very hard up, we do have literally hundreds of hours […]

This week’s episode of Accordion Noir radio may be the last live broadcast we do for some time — in keeping with the quarantine theme of this week’s broadcast, Bruce is aspiring to keep his hands and mouth away from CFRO’s community microphones and mixing boards. But home listeners may never know the difference — […]

This week, Bruce celebrated his discovery of the hitherto unobserved cosmic conjunction of squeezebox anniversaries coming down to bear on the date of March 11th: Given the opportunity to cover for the time slot of the Soundscape show that typically takes place the hour before ours, that yielded a generous two-hour time slot that gave […]

Some years we run an International Women’s Day special, and some years we do a month and a half worth of them.

Vancouver and indeed all of Canada are captivated this week by protests by Wet’suwet’en hereditary chief land and water defenders making a stand against the incursion of fossil fuel infrastructure on their traditional territories. Naturally Bruce did his best to program an hour of accordion music thematically linked to the current events… a stiff proposition! […]

We were very excited to hear that our NYC friend Matt Dallow, alt-accordionist of the cruise ship lanes, fearless dating site self-saboteur, Banksy accompanist and would-be Groucho Marx impersonator, was being brought to town with this renowned ensemble. Indeed, they are scheduled to be performing just down the street from our radio station, at the […]

Yesterday was a big day for us! Not only did we air our annual SOCAN special of accordion music by Canadian songwriters, but our host “Accordion” Bruce Triggs’ proposal for the imminent adoption of an accordion emoji (a grave oversight, we must all agree) was announced through official sources and Twitter kind of lost its […]

Tonight’s episode of Accordion Noir radio featured special guest Brian Regal sharing with us his expertise over the oeuvre of Bruce Springsten and specifically the subset of his songs featuring the enchanting accordion stylings of the late Danny Federici.
