‘Accordion Babes’ on tour, West Coast – USA, Canadaby Rob Howard |
 |
| The ‘Accordion Babes’ are out on tour with their revue. Their leader, Renne de la Prade writes, “I'm taking six accordion babes on the road with me from Los Angeles to Vancouver. Since one of those Accordion Babes is my W&W band-mate Joan Wilson Rueter, we get to showcase our whiskey stomp-sound in the ‘Accordion Babes Revue’ on this nine show West Coast Tour. The ‘Accordion Babes Revue’ is a dream I've had ever since I published the Accordion Babes Album & Pin-Up Calendar five years ago. The show takes advantage of the fact that most accordion players also sing and play other instruments. It's not just a consecutive night of solo acts, we are learning each others' material, and putting new song arrangements together so that we are a real band with six different woman leaders. We're bringing the extremely groovy Aharon Wheels Bolsta to play drums and percussion for the group. I'll be the band's guitar player when I'm not playing accordion. Joan will play fiddle, lucky us! There will also be a trombone, a glockenspiel, and a host of percussion and voices”.
