POLAND SPRING — Gary “The Accordion Warrior” Sredzienski will give an encore performance Monday, Aug. 2, at All Souls Chapel, as part of the Poland Spring Preservation Society’s summer concert series.
Sredzienski began his professional career at age 9. A year later, he traveled around New England performing with a vaudeville act called The Hog Hollow Hooters. Solo recordings on his Bellows Music label have landed him national performances with various cultural organizations. In 2000, he performed throughout Romania on a tour sponsored by the Smithsonian Folklife Center, the State Department and the governor of New Hampshire.
He is continually involved in recording projects and, as an artist-in-residence, presents educational programs in New Hampshire schools on a regular basis.
Besides performing for choral and dance groups, Sredzienski plays 1960s surf rock, traditional ethnic and his accordion compositions with the Portsmouth-based group Serfs. His music has been featured in Paramount’s 2005 film “Bad News Bears” and the TV show “Love Monkey” aired on CBS.
The concert will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7.50 at the door and include refreshments. For more information, call 998-4142 or visit www.polandspringps.org
