Livestream Description

Hi, I'm Dallas Vietty, accordion performer and educator based in Pennsylvania, USA. I teach online at RisingReed.com, where I help musicians grow their creativity, expression, and confidence on the accordion.

Today's livestream is "Thankful for the Music – Share the Music That Made You the Accordionist You Are." This session is all about the accordion music that shaped us — the performances, the traditions, and the players who helped form our sound and inspired our journey.

This is a viewer-submitted livestream. If you'd like to take part, you can post a live YouTube performance link in the chat, or email it to me during the stream. Tell me why that performance matters to you, or how it influenced your growth as a musician. I'll play your submissions live so we can listen and appreciate them together.

Tonight we're celebrating the accordion music we're genuinely thankful for — the tunes that opened our ears, the performers we admired from afar, the mentors we studied with, and the unexpected discoveries that expanded our sense of what the accordion can be. Every musician has a trail of influences behind them, and this livestream is a moment to honor that path.

We'll talk about the music that first sparked your interest, the recordings that pulled you deeper into the instrument, and the traditions or styles that feel like home to you. Maybe it's something you heard growing up. Maybe it's a video you stumbled on last year. Maybe it's a player you've never met who changed your musical life. Whatever it is, bring it. Share it. Tell us why you're thankful it exists.

Come join the community, share a tune, and enjoy an evening dedicated to the accordion music that helped make you the musician you are today. 🪗✨
