Dan Newton 3-aDan Newton (Daddy Squeeze)

Aficionados know that hearing the accordion can be transformational. Not every accordion can make this happen, nor every player. Daddy Squeeze enjoys mixing up styles and genres that don’t generally seem compatible. “Ethnoclectic Bop” is the result of his genre-bending experiments with Celtic, Tex-Mex, Creole, Blues, Jazz, Scandinavian, Polka and pop music. He’s a really skilled player, and has great good humor and spirit. Accordion lovers walk away from Dan’s shows knowing they’ve heard their favorite instrument presented in a moving, fresh and new way, while the squeezebox skeptic will realize that there is much to love about the accordion when it’s in the right hands. See his website here.
