I entertain with my accordion or keyboard, play American Standards, Polka, Waltz, Foxtrott, Tango. Tunes and folk songs of Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Spain. I play at private parties within a 90 miles radius from Merritt Island, Florida. I perform at Oktoberfests in Lederhosen and Tirolerhut costume. Can perform with bassist and drummer, if desired. 50 years experience.
I frequently perform as a French or Italian strolling accordionist. My repertoire is tailored for private parties, and mature audience including senior citizens.
During Corona virus pandemic I am available for virtual accordion performances with ZOOM.
Specializing in Accordion Oktoberfest and Piano Christmas performances
Plays and Brigitta were lovely and the perfect charming and warm act to compliment our Oktoberfest event so wonderfully!
They did an awesome job 👏
Our residents love Klaus and his wife!
They are a joy to have at our community and we are blown away at there performing and authentic costumes!
Can't wait to have them back !
Such a delight to deal with. Very professional, yet very kind and friendly. Made the booking so easy. Met all expectations and so much more. Thoroughly entertaining, perfect selections for the crowd. Very well received by the guests. An Accordion Pleasure indeed. Would
highly recommend. C. Thomson
We hired Klaus to perform at our residents passport dining meal which was to Denmark. He was excellent and interacted with the residents and was a blessing for us! Thank you Klaus for such an awesome performance!! We can’t wait to book you again!
We decided last minute to hire and accordion player for our cocktail hour for our wedding. It was the best decision ever. It created a wonder ambience for our guests while they chit chatted and while we had guest have their sketch done by an artist we hired as well.
We had a wonderful intimate moment when my husband and I danced a bit before heading inside to reception when we danced alone outside while the accordion player played for us. He and his wife are adorable people. We loved them.

Klaus Kolb and his accordion made the party! If you all could see the face of our birthday gal Ms. Lelo (a young 99) when Klaus started playing you would know he is a great entertainer. I highly recommend Klaus and his Accordion Pleasures to everyone looking to make a birthday party special!!! Great Job Klaus!
This duo was the perfect entertainment option for an Oktoberfest event for a group of seniors and I'm so happy we booked! Klaus and Brigitte came in full attire and was the life of the party - even getting the residents involved with the Chicken dance! We will definitely look to book them again for future events!
Klaus is the real deal. A delightfully energetic and engaging musician. He came into my friends home with such ease. He shared who he was when asked. He played at just the right time... it was a surprise birthday party for 85 year old, and as she entered the house he played " Happy Birthday" real quietly... so cute of him to think of that! And it was emotional when he played certain pieces- we wanted fun and light! He seemed like part of the family, and was so respectful and fun. I'd recommend him to anyone! Thanks Klaus!

Klaus communicated efficiently throughout the planning stages of my mother in law’s celebration of life event. He arrived in authentic German attire and played beautifully on the accordion. He engaged the party attendees and added a very special touch to an emotional, heartwarming affair. I am thrilled to have made this connection - highly recommend.
Had to cancel our concert because of issues of hosting party. However, we hope to reschedule in the future if possible. Communication about this was great. It will go on at a later date, Lord willing.
Wonderful addition to our party and we Would highly recommend him

Klaus is wonderful! He is an excellent communicator, was prompt, and above all, beautifully reflected our family's style and made our occasion extremely special. He is warm, personable, caring, and very talented. What a joy to worked with. I would recommend him to brighten any occasion! I would book him again :)
Response from Accordion Pleasures:
Kimberly, I admire you for your talented and caring planning of the event and your thoughtful selection of all the songs. The versatility of my modern, electronic accordion allowed me to play Amazing Grace in organ sound and Taps in genuine bugle - trumpet tones. As a team we were able to conduct a meanigful and dignified service for your Grandad. I had the feeling your Grandpa was smiling at you from above. Klaus Kolb, professional accordionist.
Excellent! Wonderful music and very personable! Highly recommend!

Mr. Klaus Kolb was a wonderful accordion player and everyone was delighted. We could not be happier. His musical knowledge was incredible and everybody loved the amazing accordion, the photo-op and poster as well as the chicken hats :) Thank you very much for making our German Fest a success.

I was hesitant about hiring a pianist/accordian player for a memorial event. But it was the best thing I could have done. The guests loved the Irish melodies and everyone said what a great time they had at an authentic Irish wake.
The success of our Oktoberfest function was in part due to Klaus and not only his musical talent but his interaction with our guests. He and Brigitte provided an energy that was fun to witness and be a part of. We would highly recommend Klaus should you be considering a similar event.

Dear Don and Pat.
We appreciate your kind rating. It was a pleasure to be allowed to participate at your beutifully planned and arranged party. Thank you for the opportunity to entertain.
Klaus und Brigitte - Accordion Pleasures.
Klaus provided an unforgettable one man accordion show for our family reunion/birthday party. His presence, festive spirit, and musical acumen turned a humdrum family get together into an unforgettable experience! In addition to keeping the entertainment going our whole event and graciously taking a wide range of requests ("Can you play [this]?" - "Sing a few bars" - plays the whole song!), he engaged the crowd, welcomed singing accompaniment (for better or worse), and had everyone from my 90 year old grandparents to my 1 year old niece up dancing throughout the night!
There are many options for an accordion player, but only Klaus will provide authentic entertainment, a welcoming atmosphere, and those elusive accordion pleasures!

I live in a senior community in Palm Bay Florida. We have entertainment of different types many times a month; bands,singers, comedians, but my favorite would be Klaus Kolb. His talents with the accordion are unsurpassed in my mind. A man who can not only play many instruments, but do his own arrangements, is a true musician, that is Klaus Kolb.
Heard Klaus playing accordion on the beach recently. Was very entertaining!
I have seen Klaus perform three times and at every venue, the audience was on their feet clapping or dancing. He gets the audience involved and has a wide repertoire to please everyone.
Klaus is the most amazing, talented, interesting and wonderful musician we have ever found! We could listen to him play for hours and hours.
A truly remarkable musician. We love him!

When hired, I appear well dressed, or in Lederhosen costume, with my Roland 120 bass accordion, or with my keyboard, with my medium or large Roland amplification and speaker system. I need a 120 volt outlet in up to ten feet vicinity and an armless chair.
I play for one hour constantly, if needed to perfrom for two or three hours I take a brief intermission, every (link hidden)me of the typical German tunes I accompny vocally. As much as possible I adapt the mood of the party.
Played accordion at "house music" at age 6 in the East German province Silesia. Formed and operated a dance combo during college years in Meissen, Germany, picking up Swing style from AFN (American Forces Network). Came to USA in 1965 and started a corporation. After retiring from Corporate as company president of a Textile Machinery Factory in SC, I retired to Florida, founded my own business as consultant for Geodesic Dome Home Shell assembling. I joyned the Central Florida Accordion Club, Brevard Chapter and have been actively involved for 8 years. I perform every week with the Harbor City Dance Band in Melbourne, Florida and play costantly at parties, fundraisers, Senior Communiies and rehab units and gatherings with up to 100 persons. Through ZOOM I am available for virtual performances. I am giving back to the community by entertaining weekly at the Alzheimers Foundation of Brevard.
When playing for large audiences I require a stage, but no lighting and no P/A system. I provide my own sound system. Just need one 120 volt outlet.
