Free Full Moon concerts with the Golden Melody Band at Red Hill Books January 30, 2008

Before the era of recorded music in America, recitals featured a mingling of genres, presenting European concert pieces alongside popular dance numbers of the day. In that tradition, THE GOLDEN MELODY BAND takes listeners on a sweeping musical journey from the humble to the sublime, highlighting the virtuosity of each member while forging an enchanting ensemble sound. Formed in 2007, the quartet of accordion, violin, upright bass, and guitar or cello has already created a buzz with appearances around the San Francisco Bay Area. Dazzling audiences with inspired renditions of classical, ragtime, tango, American fiddle music, klezmer, and original compositions, they conjure a sound that is both familiar and provocatively unique.
