Ron Borelli and The Don Nurisso Trio
Ron Borelli, pianist and accordionist, performs throughout the San Francisco Bay Area as a soloist or with his combo. Ron has played for hundreds of venues and special occasions including San Francisco’s Bimbo’s 365 Club, the Fairmont and St. Francis Hotels, the San Francisco Opera, the San Francisco Symphony and the Las Vegas International Accordion Convention, to name just a few. His fabulous repertoire includes American standards, jazz standards, European continental, opera, classical, motown and classic rock and roll.
Don Nurisso, accordionist, plays casuals of almost every type when he’s not otherwise occupied by his engineering career. His favorite style of music is jazz improvisation, but he has played many styles and enjoys all good music. Don is also the manage and accordionist in the "Trio Continental" as well as active member of the San Francisco Accordion Club.
We are excited to also have The Reno Di Bono Trio - Plus 1 performing!
Reno Di Bono and his band have been delighting audiences for over 30 years, playing Jazz, Swing and Italian styles. Reno has been playing accordion for 40 years with a specialty in Italian music. He can sing over 30 Italian songs in either the Sicilian, Neapolitan or Piemontese dialects. Rounding out the trio are Brent McHenry on Drums and vocals, who Reno recruited right out of high school 31 years ago, and Clarinetist (and Saxophonist) extraordinaire - Dave Kawamoto, described by Reno as reminiscent of Benny Goodman. For the SFAC performance, Reno is enhancing his trio with a fourth musician - double-bassist, Steve Auerbach. Steve is busy throughout the Bay area performing, composing and producing. Even today he is doing double duty - playing in both the Don Nurisso and Reno Di Bono trios!
