Renée De La Prade
Cajun * Irish * Maritime * Americana
A house favorite, Renée is an American one-woman band; living in Germany rocking songs on accordion, ukulele, harmonica and foot stomps. Her new-vintage sound combines classic Blues and rock grooves with Celtic and maritime music. She sings in English, French, German and Spanish.
She will also bring the latest Accordion Babes calendar for 2026 for sale. A great gift!

Chris Portka
singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist
Chris Portka is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has been making music for two decades. He has spent most of his life in California, and most of the 2000’s in the San Francisco Bay Area. His music is reflective of the East Bay’s beautifully ragged aesthetic, fusing eclectic elements to create something homey and real. He makes music that is expressive, exploring themes of anguish, boredom, dread, responsibility, and triumph. He does this both as a songwriter committed to the craft of lyrical folk and rock tunes and through experimental and instrumental work that seeks to evoke the ineffable dimensions of those moods that so often overtake us. Taking inspiration from the poetic precision of the likes of Bob Dylan and David Berman, and indulging in the prophetic cacophony of artists like Skip Spence and Captain Beefheart, Chris makes sounds that probe our inner lives and pose the musical question: how’s everybody doin’ tonight?
