Cafe Accordion Orchestra Biography
“Berets and Bongos” describes the Café Accordion experience. A loungy, eclectic mix, full of French flare, Latin heat and Bohemian attitude. The heart of the Café Accordion repertoire is the romantic, gypsy-influenced valse-musette. The group complements the musettes with swing, ballads, tangos, cha chas, rumbas, and cumbias to create a wonderfully varied show. They inject their music with good humor and expressive abandon. Their high level of musicianship and passion for performance makes them an entertaining concert act as well as a great dance band.
CAO is lead by DAN NEWTON on accordion and vocals, with ERIC MOHRING on mandolin, violin and vocals, ERIK LILLESTOL on bass, JOE STEINGER on percussion and ROBERT BELL on guitar. CAO has been delighting audiences and dancers alike since 1995. They have appeared in New York at the
Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing series, the International Akkordeon Festival in Vienna, Austria, The Minnesota State Fair, A Prairie Home Companion, as well as festivals, theaters and dance halls across the United States.
