Key Tunes

The Key Tunes is a trio consisting of accordion, bass, and drums.  Combined, we have about 100 years of playing experience!! 

The drummer, Doug Busch hails from Michigan and is as versatile as they come.   He can drum out anything from Big Band to Polka and does it with ease. Throw in some Latin rhythms and some German Gemutlichkeit and this drummer is ready to go!

Bass player Gene LaBrie has been playing since he was about 6 years old and has a penchant for Bluegrass. He was part of the award-winning bluegrass group for several years, the Florida Bluegrass Express.  He is flexible and versatile.  Put him in a pair of lederhosen and he is an awesome part of the Key Tunes.

An accordion player originally from Michigan, Corky Hall enjoys all types of music from ethnic to metal!!  She particularly likes ethnic music from the countries of Europe – Germany, Poland, Sweden, Italy, Norway, and Russia, to name a few.  She plays with heart from start to finish. 

Any event you plan calls for the Key Tunes!
