Texas Folklife is pleased to announce that The Big Squeeze 2010 accordion contest semifinals for up-and-coming musicians will be held in Austin at The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum on Saturday, May 1. This is the first time that The Big Squeeze contest will be held at the popular museum that “tells the story of Texas,” and it is a perfect partner for Texas Folklife. The semifinals will fall on the first Saturday of the month when the museum offers free admission to the exhibits from 2 - 6 p.m. with Wells Fargo First Saturdays. Visitors can also view the exhibit American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music. So, make it a day and celebrate all things Texan!
Joining Texas Folklife and the Texas State History Museum in presenting this year’s Big Squeeze semifinals is the Austin Latino Music Association (ALMA). It is ALMA’s mission to increase awareness of the Latino music scene in Austin and foster the development of young musicians who keep Latino musical styles and traditions alive—another perfect partner for Texas Folklife and The Big Squeeze accordion contest! The event will help to launch the fifth year of Latino Music Month, which is featured in the city during the month of May.
