Week at the Stone
Come hang out with Erik Friedlander at my listening party to celebrate "Dirty Boxing" - and it's all for free! Dive into the full album with me, chat about how it all came together, share behind-the-scenes tales, and get into the nitty-gritty of the mix and mastering. It's going to be a great time, and I'd love to have you join me!

Guy Klucevsek Memorial Concert: Comin’ On Home
Guy Klucevsek, a master accordionist, composer, collaborator, and fearless punster, passed away on May 22, 2025. To honor Guy’s legacy, a group of close friends—led by his wife, Jan Klucevsek—have organized a concert to celebrate his life and music, featuring works for ensembles, solo accordion, dance, and theater, performed by artists who knew him well, often as collaborators. The music and stories told by friends will reveal Guy’s wonderful sense of humor and humanity.

JazzTrail Review
"…a musical journey that unfolds with fascination… A Queens’ Firefly is an exciting album in many ways, and Friedlander’s fantastic compositions seemed to have encouraged his cohorts to play them with gusto.” - JazzTrail
The Big Takeover Review of A Queens’ Firefly
“No matter in what direction Friedlander takes the music, it always stays accessible, remaining ear catching and commanding no matter what scratches he puts on the surface. That makes A Queens’ Firefly not only a great record, but the one to beat for anyone trying to introduce a newcomer to Friedlander’s magnificent body of work.” - The Big Takeover
