Guido Deiro


Guido Deiro (September 1, 1886 - July, 26 1950) was a famous vaudeville star, international recording artist, composer and teacher. He was the first accordionist to appear on big-time vaudeville, records, radio and the screen. Guido usually performed just under the name "Deiro". Guido and his younger brother Pietro were among the highest paid performers on the vaudeville circuit, and they both did much to introduce and popularize the piano accordion in the early 20th century.
