Temple Sound and Stage is an awesome room right in JP Centre, on top of City Feed and Supply, and it's amazing to help bring a bunch of people to this new space. There's an accordion out there right now that's hurting bad, and she needs our help.

A note from Jason:

Made in the late 80's. Musette tuning. 40 buttons, and a whole lot of magic. Unfortunately on our last tour, the humidity hurt her bad. I've had her tuned a couple of times over the
years, which is pretty involved I hear. But apparently, the reeds are set in a special mixture of wax. And her wax has become brittle. So now, she has become a restoration project. To the tune of $1300. She is unique and very special. A new one might cost just over $1300, but it won't be her of course. And it's not just sentimentality. This instrument has a soul I tell you. Perhaps she can be saved, or it may even be time to consider another instrument, depending on how things go. Let's party! (Thanks Chris)
