Additional Information:
 
Offering an entertaining and powerful performance of songs and instrumental 
pieces, DiGiuseppe's and Gotham's repertoire draws from many sources, including the dance tunes of 
the Celtic cultures, sophisticated and rhythmic Brazilian choros, flourishing 
Parisian musettes, and the old time and bluegrass sounds of the American South.

David DiGiuseppe is a nationally recognized accordionist, known for his fiery 
playing extending into Irish, Parisian and southern old time styles. A singer 
and Irish cittern player as well, he is adept at diverse musical genres, with 
performance experience in jazz and classical music in addition to folk.

DiGiuseppe tours the United States playing for New England- style contra dances, 
both as a featured accordionist and with his dance band FootLoose. He performs 
solo in schools, libraries and museums throughout the Carolinas, offering both 
family concerts and educational presentations.

Growing up in the 1960's, Danny Gotham got the idea to play guitar when the 
Beatles were televised into his living room. Since that time, Gotham has 
developed into a master flatpicker and fingerpicking instrumentalist.

Gotham cut his musical teeth playing in various rock, blues, bluegrass and 
country bands. In 1980, Gotham took Second Place in the prestigious National 
Fingerpicking Guitar Championship in Winfield, KS. Since then he has opened for 
many major acts, including Arlo Guthrie, Doc Watson, David Bromberg, Leo Kottke
