The Golden State Accordion Club Band

The unique sound of this group is the result of the different types of accordions the members play. We have piano accordions, button box accordions, and chromatic accordion players. These instruments are perfect for our European style music. We are strong promoters of polka and waltz music because of the fun, good times, and enjoyment this music gives to people. We believe this ethnic music is wonderful to play, and we have made a commitment to keep it alive.

The group was formed out of the Golden State Accordion Club, which is a very successful club that has been in Northern California for over 14 years. The club meets each month in Vacaville and Sacramento.

The band members are from many different areas: Carole Enneking, Director, Green Valley; Diane Blais, Vacaville; Harry Cannata, Windsor; Joann Hipp, Sacramento; Rachele Junkert, Fair Oaks; Daryl Missall, Antioch; Irmgard Mitchell, St. Helena; Ralph Muscatell, Windsor; Otto Saltenberger, Sacramento; Taffy Steffen, Folsom; Leo Tastsides, Vallejo; Hank Turnsk, Vacaville; and Annie Uher, Castro Valley.
