Excerpts from his website: “Daddy Squeeze” has been playing offbeat accordion music since 1987, when he won the Nebraska State Accordion Contest at the Czech Festival in Wilber, Nebraska. He has used the squeeze box for playing all kinds of music not normally associated with free-reed instruments, as well as standard accordion material.

Daddy Squeeze also enjoys mixing up styles and genres that don’t generally seem compatible. “Music out of context”, or “Ethno-clectic Bop” is the result of his genre-bending experiments with Celtic, Tex-Mex, Creole, Blues, Jazz, Scandinavian, Polka and pop music.

Daddy Squeeze offers bands of all sizes, as well as solo musicians, for dances, receptions, concerts, parties and recording session and can provide you with rockin’ blues and Zydeco, swingin’ hillbilly jazz, elegant French and continental sounds, plus ethnic music such as Celtic, British, Latin rhythms, square and contra-dance, Cajun and even some jugband and old-time polka sounds. He has created ten CD’s of varying types of music.
