TCMF Spotlight: Dixieland Accidentals

The Dixieland Accidentals return to TCMF on Monday. April 22!

The Dixieland Accidentals have appeared at TCMF since the second year of the festival.  Come see them at Central Market North on Monday, April 22, at 6:45pm.

Delighting Austin-area audiences since 2005, the Dixieland Accidentals represent one of the Live Music Capital’s most unusual musical resources. Taking a fresh and often novel approach to traditional jazz — be it ragtime, Dixieland, New Orleans style, Chicago Style, or classic swing — the Accidentals serve up the tunes with a verve and enthusiasm that is downright contagious. Made up of six members and former members of one of Austin’s premier concert music ensembles, the Austin Symphonic Band, the group displays an intimate acquaintance with the traditions of American wind band music (of which traditional jazz is a branch) that is beyond question. The result is an exciting, toe-tapping musical experience that appeals to young and old alike.

The Accidentals have performed for audiences at local elementary and middle schools, at retirement centers, and everything in between, including such disparately fabled spots as Scholz GartenUT’s Harry Ransom CenterZilker Hillside Theater, and the Veloway at Circle C. Perhaps a little traditional jazz would be just the thing to spice up your upcoming event. Drop us a line, and let’s discuss it.

Hear the Dixieland Accidentals live. Catch the Accidentals live at the Texas Community Music Festival at 6:45 PM on Monday, April 22, at Central Market, 4001 N. Lamar Blvd.
