kind to us.

the 116th Annual July 4th Celebration in North Morristown

 Those Darn Accordions 

Hi folks --

We're happy to say the new
Those Darn Accordions CD -- called "Squeeze Machine"
 -- is headed for the production line.
We just shipped the master and the artwork to the
manufacturer, and the finished product will be on store
shelves in mid-September.
We think it's our most eclectic and fun record yet
-- you're gonna love it (oh yeah).

As always, you can see the rest
of our upcoming shows on our Tour Dates page:
http://www.thosedarnaccordions.com/tour.htm

And you can stay up-to-date on everything
TDA by reading our blog, the Wall of Wheeze:

Cheers,
Lewis
