Playing the accordion runs in the Makofka family, but it took a 60th birthday present for his father for Steve Makofka to take up the instrument.  Already an accomplished vocalist, pianist and guitar player, Makofka found that the accordion has opened several new musical doors and exposed him to many different players within the Dayton music scene.

Steve Makofka visited the WYSO studios to perform live accompanied by Todd the Fox and spoke about his musical journey so far and where he'd like to head.
