Its here! The perfect Valentine’s Day present! Let me present to you The Hot Club Jazz Fellowship: Live at The Red Clay Music Foundry . . . matthewkaminski.bandcamp.com/album/live-a...

Got any walkup song ideas for these players?

Let’s do this!!!

I feel like today is the last day of summer before school starts tomorrow. #iykyk

I’m so grateful for the community of people who regularly come to see my band, “Mondo Hammondo” at Trader Vic’s! Last night was so much fun and I want to thank each and every one of you who came and made it a great environment for us to play!

NEW RELEASE! ❤️❤️❤️ Valentine’s Day ❤️❤️❤️

MONDO HAMMONDO is back at @tradervicsatl this Tuesday from 7-10pm! Come on down for some sweet Mai Tais and relaxing exotica/lounge music!

Okay, I’ll be the millionth person to comment on the half time show. . . I thought it was entertaining and I really liked the more traditional salsa that Lady Gaga sang. Musically, that’s where my tastes are, especially since I play in a salsa band.

Any Duke or UNC fans out there? I’ll be in the area in April and was wondering if UNC baseball @NCAAUNC or Duke Baseball @DukeBASE would be interested in having me play a game or 2. Reach out if you’re interested! There are a couple of Braves fans that can vouch for me! 😉

Are you ready UGA baseball fans?!?!

Watching The University of Arizona’s men’s basketball team on tv (I went there from 95-98). It’s such a stark contrast from the events in Tucson with the Guthrie family. Tucson is such a beautiful place with some amazing people. I just hope for the safe return of Nancy Guthrie.

I didn’t realize that me playing “Green Onions” is a cue to many people to go use the restroom! I guess I’ll have to keep it in rotation!

Since I’ve always played “Green Onions” when Snitker (and Bobby Cox) walked out to the mound, perhaps I should change it this year for Walt Weiss?

So, Brian Wilson didn’t get a tribute song at the Grammys?!?!? 😡🤬

My wall of credentials is getting crowded!

For those wondering, I think the #1 most well-known waltz in the US is “Happy Birthday To You”. What do you think?

I consider this song the 2nd most well known waltz in the USA. What do you think is number 1?

Hey Braves fans! I’ll be playing at the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club “Gameboree” this Saturday. I hope to see some of you there! www.atl400.org/2026-gamebor...

Good news Georgia Southern fans! I’ll be back at J.I. Clements Stadium on March 21st and 22nd. Mark your calendars! #CollegeBaseballOrganist

Name that tune . . . (Yesterday’s answer: “San Antonio Rose”). For accordion lessons, go to www.matthewkaminski.com for more information

I want to thank all the meteorologists for all their hard work this week! I was appreciative of the forecast in looking out for the small trees and branches that came down by my house!

A good day to spend a “snow day” when the kids are home from school. Do you clean your records with a Spin Clean? I can’t afford the fancy machines that clean records, but this does the job pretty well.

It could have been worse! Thankfully, they’re small trees/bushes that won’t do any damage to the house.

I just received a nice email from a college student who wants to play the organ (keyboard) for his college baseball team. Even though I love playing for college baseball, I believe that it should be a student playing and gaining experience. And I’m more than happy to mentor them along the way!

Any NC State fans out there?!?! I’ll be making a return to Doak Field at Dail Park on April 4th this season! Mark your calendars and go Wolfpack!

La Cacahuata

Great thrift store score yesterday! All for $20! What are you playing first?

Here’s the answer. Watch the whole thing! You’ll thank me later 😉 youtu.be/fueqWyC9enM?...

Name that tune . . .

In this day and age, it’s become normal for people to take a video of the band at a gig. However, if you’re going to do that, PLEASE turn off the flash (the bright LED light that’s on the entire time)! It’s not fun to be playing a song and look up at someone’s phone light up in your face!

Chez Jacquet by Django Reinhardt.

Thank you so much for all the compliments and for wanting me back for another year! Are there any songs that you’d like to hear this season?

It’s that time of year to start doing school presentations on my experiences as musician. Let me know if your child’s school is interested. www.matthewkaminski.com

It’s official! I’m back for season 18! #61

Coming soon!

RIP Guy Moon.

Bear down Chicago Bears!!!

Did you know that you can play jazz on the accordion?

Happy birthday to Jeff Francoeur! I will always remember the time that I made you laugh on air!

I’m so happy to be back with my band, Mondo Hammondo, at @tradervicsatl tonight from 7pm - 10pm! Come down and have a mai tai!

It’s great to start the new year with Orquesta MaCuba and Mondo Hammondo!

I thought that the Chevy Chase doc was really fascinating and well made. He’s actually a good pianist and was friends with Bill Evans. You can even see the Bill Evans book on the piano during the interviews. Complicated person for sure, but I enjoy a lot of his movies.

First gig of the New Year! 7:30pm - 11pm at Eclipse Di Luna in Alpharetta.

Happy New Year! My New Year’s resolution is to keep building up my teaching studio. I really enjoy teaching and feel that I have a lot to offer with my knowledge and experience with the organ, piano, and accordion. Go to www.matthewkaminski.com for more info.

Last gig of the year. That’s a wrap. Thank you everyone who heard me play live this year!

Just recorded some customized music tracks on the organ for a hockey team in Canada. Very cool to know that I’m being heard in different arenas and stadiums! Let me know if you’re in need of customized organ clips for your team (or your child’s team!)!

New Years Eve gig tomorrow at Petite Violette from 6pm - 9:30pm with the Dan Coy trio. 🪗🎸🎻

What an absolute thrill to have a Mondo Hammondo track played on The Retro Cocktail Hour! This radio show is one of the reasons why I got into exotica, lounge, and other similar styles of music! Tune in at around 43 minutes into the stream on their website! www.retrococktail.org
