Bruce Molsky Release Party at the Tiki Parlour
A year in the making! We just released the Bruce Molsky Set “Can’t Stay Here This a-Way” on DVD & CD!
On Saturday May 7th we celebrated with Bruce Molsky and his playing pals Paula Bradley and Allison DeGroot AND the most wonderful crew of old-time musicians and Tiki Parlour students from Los Angeles and beyond! Enjoy!
Bruce Molsky – Can’t Stay Here This a-Way–DVD & CD Set
Bruce Molsky’s biggest release to date is now AVAILABLE and ready to ship immediately through the Tiki Parlour!
A year in the making, we are proud to release Bruce Molsky’s most unique recording thus far. In grand Tiki Parlour style, it features a DVD & CD along with an informative booklet written by Bruce and old-time guitar genius/living encyclopedia Christopher Berry. It showcases tunings, history, personal anecdotes and of course the whimsical artwork of Angelina Elise. Bruce’s fiddle, banjo, guitar and vocal wizardry is beautifully showcased in Sight & Sound!
United States Orders:
International Orders:
“I had the most intense and musically introspective time working with David Bragger’s filming of me at the Tiki Parlour, David’s close and almost visceral camera work made the fiddle, banjo and guitar pieces and songs very personal even through the camera lens. It was a great experience.
The Old Time Tiki Parlour is on a mission to document old time music in a meaningful and unique way, up close and without filters. It’s a delight to be part of this, along with all these great musicians they have on board!” –Bruce Molsky

Joe Fontenot Trio plays “Parking Lot Stomp” at the Tiki Parlour!
Joe Fontenot Debut CD–AVAILABLE NOW!
81-year old California Creole accordion player Joe Fontenot’s debut CD L’Echo a Travers Le Clos (Echo Across the Field) is now available! In true field recording style, we put a couple microphones in front of Joe and his two fellow musicians Guy Wenzel (fiddle) and Carolyn Russell (guitar) as they poured out tune after tune! Mr. Joe is a fixture in the Southern California Cajun and Zydeco community although he’s originally from Louisiana. The Old-Time Tiki Parlour believes heavily in supporting community and local music, so this is a big deal for us. The music community and family of Mr. Joe will now have something that will be preserved for generations.
