French Musette and Gypsy Swing

It is hard to think of French music and not hear accordion. One of Tom’s earliest influences on accordion was the soundtrack from the lovely movie Amelie. Since then, Tom’s interest in French chansons has grown tremendously. Edith Piaf, Yann Tiersen, Charles Trenet, and Django Reinhardt are among the lead influences in Tom’s repertoire of Gypsy Swing and the lovely musette sound.
