Very excited that Eric Vloeimans and I will be playing a showcase at the Chamber Music America conference in New York this January (6th or 7th ... schedule TBA). If you're attending this conference, we would love to meet you.

“The blend that Dutch jazz trumpeter, Eric Vloeimans, and American accordionist, Will Holshouser, bring to the stage brings on such a state of awe, with its beauty and eclectic influences, that a CD release from their 2021 concert tour in the Netherlands is a “must” purchase." * * * * * - Jeff Krow, Audiophile Audition
"Will Holshouser plays as much accordion as there is to be played." - David Wondrich, Village Voice
"As a composer, he's broken out of the format." - Bill Beuttler, Boston Globe
"Will Holshouser's utterly unconventional accordion-led chamber trio . . . is a beautiful thing."
- Jeff Stockton, All About Jazz New York

New album Sept. 1st: Eric Vloeimans & Will Holshouser, Two for the Road
Two for the Road, recorded live on our tour of the Netherlands last year, will be released on Sept. 1st. Our second album as a duo, it features Eric's beautiful "Innermission" series he composed during lockdown, as well as my long-form piece "Redbud Winter," commissioned by the American Accordionists' Association. It was a small miracle that we were able to tour at all in 2021, and it was a pleasure to be able to stretch out and play for enthusiastic Dutch audiences. This fall, we'll be playing in the US…
