Accordion Bob is of Czech heritage, lives in Columbia Falls, and old time accordion music was part of his upbringing. Later in life Bob lived in the Czech Republic and in the cultural capital of Prague was exposed to street musicians from all over the world, developing a love for music of France, Italy, Eastern Europe and Latin America. It helped make Bob a such diverse musician. For this event Bob will be performing polkas – grab a partner and go – waltzes, schottisches, and other world music.
