Overview
I am a master accordionist and performer, well versed in all traditional forms of accordion music including French, Italian, Latin, American jazz standards, and other genres. I also coordinate ensemble performances, particularly Gypsy Jazz with violin and guitar.
I read music, improvise freely and am interested in your special musical requests I might prepare.
I have published over 500 musical compositions. My music has been used in over three hundred TV shows including Hell's Kitchen, Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee", "Supergirl", "American Pickers" and many other shows.

Accordion Player
Al was a true professional. Showed up early and took requests as to the style of music being played. It created lasting memories and amazing ambiance for our guests.

What a great guy and great performance in a small, family setting. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and the engaged couple were thrilled!
I had interviewed several accordianists for a family funeral/reception. One person could not play w/o all his other equipment which is not acceptable at a funeral. However, Al was very experienced, including being in the entertainment field many years, and responded quickly to each and every question or concern. And there were a lot. He was very easy to work with, suggesting appropriate songs for the event and was able to perform all of my song requests. The price was very reasonable. The reception was a big hit with him playing the bulk of the songs. Everyone had nice compliments. He also had compassion. HE IS THE ONLY ONE I INTERVIEWED WHO SAID "SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS." I highly recommend him for any event. I will hire him again down the road.

Al was absolutely fabulous. He had an excellent repertoire of French music which set the tone for our event. He was timely and kind. I would absolutely use him again. I know that isn’t all that he plays it’s just what we needed for the night.

It was a wonderful experience having Mr. Di Cicco play for our event. Communication prior to the event was excellent, he arrived early, played for entire time, was responsive to Emcee when announcements needed to be made, and appeared to enjoy playing for us!!! It was a fun night made even better with Mr. Di Cicco. If we do this event in the future we’ll ask him to return.
Al is a virtuoso AND very personable. We had a WONDERFUL time with him.

Response from Al Di Cicco:
Thank you Katherine! I had a lovely time and everyone was SO nice.
A memorable night indeed!
I hired Al to play at my dad's celebration of life party in my parent's garden. It was a surprise for my mom who grew up on accordion music in Norway. Al even learned a couple Norwegian songs in advance of our event! He showed up early and was so easy to work with, always with a big smile. All our guests commented on how lovely it was to have him there providing such beautiful background music while we reminisced about my dad. I highly recommend Al!
Al was terrific to work with. He was so concerned and open about making the evening terrific. My only suggestion would be that he use electronic background music to make the music more recognizable and appreciated.
Accordion Player
We hosted several couples at our house for a dinner and invited Al to play accordion. From the start, the music Al played set the tone for a great evening. We received compliment after compliment from our guests for having him perform. We hope we can make it an annual event!
Accordion Player
Al is amazing. Very nice and hospitable. He was great with our family and children. His music is a perfect addition to our christening. He’s the real deal, his love of music shows, no fancy show or anything, just old school authentic Italian music.
Accordion Player
Al was a wonderful addition to my birthday party. He arrived on time, spent a few minutes setting up, and graced us with his musical talent. He played for two hours straight all the music we had requested in advance (Italian and Spanish) and sprinkled in popular hits. He was a joy to work with and patient with our party needs and changes (we booked him before COVID for a different event).
Al was professional, communicative, on-time and very friendly! Great to work with.

Al played for our HOA mini-Octoberfest celebration. He was on time, cordial, and a master of the Accordion. He had a marvelous repertoire of German music. He came quite a distance and for that we are also grateful. Our first experience using GigSalad but we will be back to the site again and would definitely use Al again without hesitation. He made it a perfect day!

I would invite him every year!

Al is personable, professional, and immensely talented. The music he supplied for my 50th birthday party made it a memorable occasion, and his repertoire was perfect for the event. I'm sorry I don't have a good picture from the party - but we were having too good a time.

Al was a solo accordionist at my wedding ceremony and we absolutely loved the energy his live music added to our special day. He’s a pleasure to work with and very talented. I hope to use him again for any formal event I host in the future.

Al did a great job he was professional and showed up early at or wedding to play French accordion. Everyone loved it. Very nice person.

Al was on time, extremely professional, accommodating, and very talented. We had an Italian Culture event that would not have been authentic without Al's brilliant complication of Italian mood setting music during our reception. Thank you Al Di Cicco.

Al showed as promised, put on a great performance and lived up to our expectations. Crowd all told us good he was and how he added to their enjoyment. Would hire again.

Al was a perfect match! The music was right on theme and he played flawlessly. Al set the mood for our event and was a huge success.
I'll certainly book Al again. He was courteous, professional and very likeable!
Accordion Player
Al played for our daughter's wedding reception and he was great. The music was beautiful and he played exactly the type of music we asked him to. He also helped us with a sing-along of Luna Mezzo Mare that was a big hit. Everyone also enjoyed talking with him and getting to know him. He was the hit of the reception party!
