Will Holshouser
Will Holshouser is an accordionist, composer and improviser whose music draws on a wide variety of inspirations, from traditional accordion folk styles to jazz, hymns, classical and experimental music. Embracing clear melodies, pulsating rhythms and contrapuntal textures, Will’s music celebrates an eclectic attitude. As a working musician in New York who participates in many genres from around the world, he distills these experiences into his own compositions, exploring new sounds while staying in touch with the accordion’s expressive qualities and sense of fun.
Will began playing accordion in the late 1980s when a friend gave him a musty old squeezebox as a surprise. Since that time, he has performed all over the world. Highlights have included touring and recording with violinist Regina Carter, clarinetist David Krakauer, and trumpeter Eric Vloeimans, as well as with his own groups. Three albums of his music for the Will Holshouser Trio, featuring Ron Horton and Dave Phillips, were released on the Portuguese label Clean Feed. A collaborative trio, Musette Explosion, made an album that received widespread acclaim and was featured in an interview on NPR’s Fresh Air. Will has also written music for film, theater, and dance.
