Steve Irwin • Accordion
Steve Irwin is an accordionist and vocalist whose musical journey spans genres, generations, and geography. Performing professionally since age 11, he was classically trained in piano and music theory, but the accordion has always been his first love.
He began with Solomon & the Wise Guys, the South’s only klezmer band in the 1970s, performing across Florida and hosting Music to Eat Bagels By on WILZ. In the late ’80s and ’90s, he played with Pittsburgh roots rock band The Faves, performing at iconic venues like Heinz Hall and Three Rivers Stadium.
Steve has shared the stage with artists including Queen Ida, Joe Grushecky, and Guaranteed Irish, and recorded with alt-country/punk band The Surreal McCoys as “Gator McCoy.” On their album The Bottle & the Gun, he contributed keys, accordion, and the heartfelt song “Rosie Rose,” honoring his daughter’s recovery from heart surgery.
Now performing with Tom Kurlander & Pale Blue Sound, Steve is bringing his signature sound to timeless venues like Club Café and The Thunderbird. Rooted in tradition and always evolving, every piece of music Steve touches is continuing to connect and inspire.
