The NorthEast Squeeze-In (NESI), the Squeeze-In Festival of accordions, concertinas and free-reed music. was held from September 23-25, 2016 in Becket, MA. at Camp Chimney Corners, a well appointed year round camp and conference center in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, 30 minutes from the Lee exit off the Mass Pike and close to Tanglewood, the summer home of the BSO. The event was a wonderful free-reed getaway in the Berkshires.

Every year the event consists of playing music with friends, old and new in a beautiful rustic setting.Camping, cabins, lodge rooms, good food, BYOB. It is a weekend of wonderful workshops, tune swaps, spontaneous sessions and jams, songs, dance and camaraderie. Instruments paraphernalia and recordings for sale, swap and hagglement.
