About the Author:
David DiGiuseppes musical career began at the tender age of three in the local barber shop, where he was often lifted onto a chair and encouraged to sing his favorite songs. At the impressionable age of eight, he was taking accordion lessons, becoming a model student at Petterutis School of Music in Providence, Rhode Island. By twelve, the accordion was in the closet and Beatles tunes could be heard emanating from his guitar. In 1984, DiGiuseppe rediscovered the accordion. Now a nationally recognized accordionist, DiGiuseppe is known for his fiery and emotive playing, and is equally at home performing Irish tunes in a pub, French musettes in a cabaret, contra or Cajun music for a dance, or in the intimate setting of a concert hall. DiGiuseppe plays for contra dances throughout the US with his bands FootLoose and Contrazz. He also works in concert with his ensemble Craicdown. DiGiuseppe has released three recordings showcasing his playing on music from Celtic, Parisian and American traditions. Reviewer John O Regan of Ireland wrote, a player of immense talent and vision, David is a musician worth encountering. DiGiuseppe is also featured on four releases with his band FootLoose, a new CD with Contrazz, a new CD release by Craicdown, and appears on numerous CDs backing other musicians.
