A long-time pianist, James Carlson (aka Snail) bought an accordion in the summer of 2009. He took to it like a snail to a tasty green leaf. Soon his wife Lucie (aka Cricket) started to chirp along and they really did start making beautiful music together! They are both also composers and arrangers and are fond of great melodies that evoke street cafés, French cabarets, Celtic dances, Jewish weddings or sitting out on the porch in the summer. Combining sweetness, vivacity, humor and refined musicianship, their eclectic mix of music will delight one and all!
