Origin. Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Members Margaret Stutt (aka Pezzettino) – Piano. Accordion.

History. Trained in classical piano, Stutt began writing songs on her father’s accordion in 2008. She has released two albums, Because I Have No Control… and Lion.

What Is It? Uncomfortably candid lyrics, delivered with honesty and self-assurance, Pezzettino’s songs often sound like a mix between spoken word and harmonic diary entries. They’re soulful, they’re earnest, they’re bizarre—but whatever they may be, when she’s onstage with her accordion and a microphone, Pezzettino is an eccentric force to be reckoned with. Maybe we should all take a page out of Pezzettino’s book and quit therapy.

Where/When? Orpheum Lobby, Friday, Sept. 18, 2009, 6:30 p.m.
