Our favorite
ROCK-CORDION
band!

Listen to some of TDA's music here.

Back on Turner Hall's Grand Hall stage for the third year in a row, this San Francisco-based band gives new life and meaning to the accordion, playing and singing everything from quirky original songs like Hippie With a Banjo and There's Another Dumbass on the Mountain to Grand Funk's We're an American (Accordion) Band and Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. Seasoned with low-key humor and commentary, Baby Boomers and other free-thinkers will find this group especially appealing.

Fronted by lead singer/songwriter/squeezebox wizard Paul Rogers and bellows-pumping babes Carri Abrahms, Susie Davis and Suzanne Garramone, the group is anchored by drummer Michael Messer and bass player Lewis Wallace, who provide a firm foundation upon which the manic TDA accordionists can layer huge slabs of sonic mayhem.

Among their many performance credits, TDA has appeared at Milwaukee's Summerfest; on ABC's Good Morning America, American Music Awards and World News Now; and have provided music for The Drew Carey Show and the Jerry Lewis MD Telethon. The group has also released a number of cds, including Squeeze This, Amped, No Strings Attached, Clownhead, Lawnball, and its latest, Squeeze Machine.

TDA's appearance in Monroe is part of Turner Hall's 2008 Swiss Heritage Series.
