Will Holshouser @ Brooklyn Accordion Club, New York – USAby Rob Howard |
 Will Holshouser is the guest at Brooklyn Accordion Club this Sunday December 11th, 3-5pm, at 61 Local (61 Bergen Street), Brooklyn, New York. His presentation will be called “The accordion as citizen of the world: solo set and thoughts on writing accordion music”. Admission - $5 (kids under 18 free). There will an open-mic session before Will’s presentation.Will Holshouser began playing accordion in the late 1980s when a friend gave him an old squeezebox as a surprise. He has since performed all over the world as an accordionist, improviser and composer, exploring the areas between jazz, folk and experimental music. Highlights have included touring and recording with jazz violinist Regina Carter, Amsterdam-based improvisers Han Bennink and Michael Moore, modern klezmer clarinetist David Krakauer, and pop visionaries Antony and the Johnsons, as well as with his own groups. ‘Musette Explosion’ is a collaborative trio with guitarist Matt Munisteri and tuba player Marcus Rojas that puts its own spin on French musette and original music. This group has played at festivals around the USA, and their self-released debut CD briefly made it to Billboard’s Jazz Albums chart. The Will Holshouser Trio, featuring trumpeter Ron Horton and bassist Dave Phillips, has recorded three CDs of Will’s music for the Portuguese label ‘Clean Feed’. Will has been interviewed on NPR’s ‘Fresh Air’ and written music for film, theater, and dance. He has also played accordion with Suzanne Vega, Kiran Ahluwalia, Martha Wainwright, Loudon Wainwright III, Andy Statman, Uri Caine, New York City Ballet, New York City Opera, Mark Morris Dance Group, and the Raymond Scott (tribute) Orchestrette, among others. He lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and daughter. For further information email: brooklynaccordionclub@gmail.com |
