The Alaska Button Box Gang is a social and recreational group dedicated to promoting the history and enjoyment of button box accordion music. We play music for pleasure, for recreation and for many events in the greater Anchorage community. The band plays traditional Slovenian, German and Polish accordion music as well as songs written by members of the group.Our repertoire includes polkas, waltzes, schottisches, two-steps, swing and Latin. To see our recordings click Alaska Button Box Gang Recordings.
Some members have been playing together for about 20 years; others are newcomers to accordion music. All play because they enjoy playing the button box accordion and playing together. Members of the group hail from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, New Jersey and Colorado as well as Alaska.
The Alaska Button Box Gang performs regularly in the Anchorage area for non-profits and schools, as well as at the Anchorage Saturday Market, the library and other organizations. In addition, the group occasionally travels to events outside Alaska, such as the Southwest Polka Festival in Las Vegas in 1999, and 2001 and in 2002 to the Far West Button Box Jamboree in Fontana, California on Memorial Day Weekend. We will be playing at the the Ironworld Polka Festival June 28 and 29 in Chisholm, Minnesota.
Members of Alaska Button Box Gang can often be found camping out and playing their accordions for fun. So, if you hear some polkas or waltzes on a visit to Alaska, check it out--you may be in for an impromptu jam session!.
