Will Holshouser plays a solo, early-evening set of (mostly) his own music. Barbès is Brooklyn's coziest listening room, hidden behind a fun bar in Park Slope. Please note the early start time (six PM). "There’s an orchestra in Will Holshouser’s accordion, and the goods it delivers are wonderfully varied. On The Lone Wild Bird (Adhyâropa Records) it morphs with the arrival of each new track. Sacred Harp hymns, nods to Jimmy Smith, Cajun ditties from the swamps of Louisiana – the Brooklyn improviser has previously shared his broad interests (French musette nods, Balkanesque dance tunes), but his first solo affair unites a spectrum of material in a way that makes each piece seem connected. Thanks to an insightful artistry, the rich sound of Holshouser’s instrument bonds the range of melodies he concocts." -- Jim Macnie, Lament for a Straight Line blog
