King Kaleidoscope is a young group of artists who are known for the wide range of instruments in their music. From brass, percussion, wind, string, and woodwind instruments, they will always keep you guessing.
David Crowder has had his music reach spot No. Rock Whether you believe it or not accordion pops up all over the rock music culture. The accordion is a very versatile instrument that can be used to create very specific desired sounds. One of the bands that incorporated the accordion into their music was the Beach Boys. While creating the song Kokomo for the movie Cocktail the Beach Boys decided they wanted something with an added exotic and different sound to it by combining the accordion with the steel drum.
Van Dyke Parks was called and asked to help record the song and the rest is history. Check out the videos below to learn how they did that as well as listen to Kokomo. While that song in particular does not host any accordion in it, another one of their famous pieces entitled A Long December is spilling over with accordion start to finish.
Country music is a culture that has blended with the times and has had the opportunity to host the accordion in its music. One band that the accordion can be found in is The Band Perry.
Did we miss a favourite of yours? Be sure to tell us in the comments! For their first two albums, British band Mumford and Sons were known for their Americana sound, featuring instruments like the accordion, banjos, and acoustic guitars. The Cave is the third single from their debut album Sigh No More. In this live version, you can both see and hear the accordion, played by band member Ben Lovett, who sings and also plays guitar, drums, percussion, and piano in the band.
It was released as a single from the album in Germany. It was first released by The Band, who covered the song on their album Cahoots. Dylan himself recorded the song in the March sessions that were produced by Leon Russell. Written by Simon, its lyrics explore starvation and terrorism, juxtaposed with wit and optimism.

The opening salvo was Boy in the Bubble featuring the unique accordion stylings of Forere Motloheloa. The Irish folk stylings of The Pogues were in safer accordion territory. In this immortal example from Bruce Springsteen, the accordion plays an unconventional role.
This sprawling song is heavy with lyrical content, yet the accordionist Danny Federici manages to pull off a masterclass in busy rhythms and melodic gymnastics amid the dense arrangement. Canadian-American Folk-rock legends The Band were famous for incorporating all kinds of strange tones into their music. Their freewheeling style never compromised the chops of this all-star ensemble and in When I Paint My Masterpiece , the accordion shone. Garth Hudson was a master of many keyboards and woodwind instruments and perhaps it was this intimate knowledge of breath and keyboard skills that met its apex on the accordion.
The brainchild of Zach Condon, Beirut has always incorporated a broad swathe of cultural influences in its music.
