Jamie Maschler and Gabe Hall-Rodrigues have spent the majority of their lives studying the versatility of the accordion. Creosote is the fusion of their collective experience and for the past 7 years the dynamic accordion duo has pioneered a style all their own. They incorporate their vast knowledge of Brazilian music, jazz, western swing, French musette, and tango to create original compositions and arrangements for dueling accordions. www.creosoteduo.com

Jamie and Gabe have traveled the world in search of incredible accordion music, artists and learning through shared experience, whether that means playing accordion on a secluded beach in Brazil, competing in the 2019 Trophee Mundial in Portugal, or performing at the NAMM Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, California. On their most recent trip to Brazil, Jamie and Gabe were featured on TVCeara's show, "Sanfonas do Brasil" (Accordions of Brazil) with renowned accordionist and host Rodolpho Forte. The duo also runs the Emerald City Accordion School where they educate online and host in-person lessons, group sessions as well as the annual Emerald City Accordion camp.

Jamie and Gabe met through a shared interest in Brazilian music and a kismet "meet cute" at the Petosa Accordion manufacture in Seattle, WA where they both currently work. Expect to be charmed by their joyful energy and award-winning virtuosity on a unique instrument. Check out their most recent self titled album "Creosote" on Spotify.com
