On February 25, 2026 “Comin’ On Home – A Concert for Guy” was held at Roulette in Brooklyn, NY. It was the day before what would have been his 79th birthday. The concert celebrated the life and music of accordionist, composer and performer, Guy Klucevsek who passed away on May 22, 2025. The concert featured thirty-one works played by twenty-four soloists and ensemble players who were friends and collaborators of Guy’s. From those thirty-one works, we have selected eight to play on this episode. They are performed by The Relache Ensemble, Little Big Top Ensemble, accordionists Nathan Koci, Alex Meixner and Will Holshauser, violinists, Andie Tanning and Todd Reynolds, pianist Joe Kubera, and singer Kamala Sankgaram.
Guy was a sideman or leader of ensembles in the United States and Europe. His quartet Accordion Tribe toured Europe and became the subject of a documentary film. He created pieces for Relache and Little Big Top (both ensembles are featured in this episode). You can see a complete listing of his compositions, solo performances and collaborations with artists worldwide on his website .
Three earlier episodes of The Relache Chronicles are dedicated to Guy’s music. Episode 4 and Episode 10 feature conversations with him and the team as well as recordings of his music. Episode twenty-three is a personal tribute to Guy by the Relache Chronicles producing team, all close personal friends.
