Meet your Joshua Tree Accordion Festival co-host, Skyler Fell — aka Skyler the Singin’ Cowgirl 🤠✨

Skyler is an accordionist, bandleader, and desert-based artist bringing the squeezebox to life in the high desert. She fronts the Americana cowpunk band Tumbleweed Timemachine and is the heart behind The Accordion Apocalypse Repair Shop in Joshua Tree, where she repairs, sells, and champions accordions of all kinds.

A passionate performer and teacher, Skyler blends wild west spirit, storytelling, and musical tradition into every note. Whether she’s leading a jam, teaching a lesson, or lighting up the stage, her mission is simple: build community through music and keep the accordion alive and thriving.

Catch her all weekend long at the Joshua Tree Accordion Festival this Saturday & Sunday June 6th & 7th— playing, teaching, and celebrating the magic of the squeezebox! 🪗🌵
