Jack Gartonº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s accordion doesnº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™t play that incessant bouncing polka, or that tedious carnival-ride refrain. Garton º¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s accordion plays raspy chords and smoky riffs: ones you usually donº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™t hear from the squeezebox.

Jack Gartonº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s accordion doesnº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™t play that incessant bouncing polka, or that tedious carnival-ride refrain. º¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s accordion plays raspy chords and smoky riffs: ones you usually donº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™t hear from the squeezebox.

Backed by the roller coaster roots band the Demon Squadron, named after Gartonº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s grandfatherº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s special ops flight squadron in WWII, the band, like his grandfather, is a highly trained, deftly skilled crew of rocksteady, rambling musical talent. Garton and the squadron brought their weird and wonderful act to the Vernonº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s Spitfire Lounge Saturday night, where they blew the crowd away with their boisterous blend of roots music mayhem. Gartonº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s concert is the second of what is shaping up to be a stellar fourth season for the .
