    Semi-finalists will perform and compete at Big Squeeze Semifinals Concert on April 30th at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. Competition begins at 2:00 pm and is followed by performances by 2010 Big Squeeze Champion Keyun Dickson and the Zydeco Masters, Debra Peters & the Love Saints, and Conjunto Rio Jordan with Esteban Jordan III. Admission is free, rain or shine. (lawn chairs encouraged)

    Texas Folklife wants to thank and congratulate all the young accordionists who competed throughout the state. It’s hard to select only eight contestants because the talent in Texas is so great! We look forward to working with all our new young musician friends in the future.
