Bachtopus Accordion Ensemble
Featuring the music of Guy Klucevsek and, of course, Bach!
Bachtopus is an accordion ensemble based in New York City that performs music by contemporary composers and Johann Sebastian Bach. The ensemble was born out of a fruitful musical duet between Robert Duncan and Mayumi Miyaoka, who partnered during the Winter of 2011. Denise Koncelik and Peter Flint, who were members of the Brooklyn Accordion Club, joined the duet to play Bach’s organ music, which is well suited to the accordion. The group soon shifted focus to become one of the few accordion ensembles in the United States that focuses on new music. Having established a large repertoire in just a few years, Bachtopus seeks to play more original compositions, commissioned works, and contemporary music that is interesting, accessible, and grounded in traditional folk music.
Bruce T Carroll

David Janeway Trio
Mix of standards and original mainstream piano jazz

Slingshots
A mix of tunes that cover a few genres all creating our soulful vibe.
Slingshots is a group that formed in 2020. Jeremy, Chris, Steve and Dave became friends through poker games, family hangs and backyard bbq’s. During the pandemic they honed their sound with outdoor rehearsals and have continued to gel and perform. The group shares a love for many styles of music and has focused on a groovy collection of covers that span the likes of funk, jazz, latin and soul. Listen closely, you might hear a popular song with a slightly different feel or vibe. Mostly instrumental, they also may be seen with a powerhouse vocalist Sam Bunting adding another layer to the group’s repertoire.
