Accordionist David DiGiuseppe and guitarist Danny Gotham present a high–energy blend of Celtic, French, Brazilian and American music. Combining a technical mastery of their instruments with a passion for their playing, they bring to the stage a deep knowledge of their roots, a love for their art and a fire in their fingers. DiGiuseppe and Gotham infuse new life into past traditions, creating a distinctive sound that is relevant and captivating. Offering an entertaining and powerful performance of songs and instrumental pieces, their repertoire draws from many sources, including the dance tunes of the Celtic cultures, Brazilian choros, flourishing Parisian musettes, and the old time and bluegrass sounds of the American South.
