Street Musicians ----- Euro-Texan Folk Music

About Me

Street Squeeze plays Euro-Texas Folk Music. Street Squeeze is a duo of Kay Hickman on diatonic accordion and Pete Nalda on either diatonic accordion or piano accordion, and sometimes keyboards. We play mostly on the streets of Austin, Texas as busking street musicians, but we also play festivals and private gigs. Some of our music is traditional European music, and some of it is original. Kay normally plays the melody, and Pete adds in the good stuff - even some unorthodox jazz licks and wild keyboard sounds. The official website is http://www.streetsqueeze.com. Kay and Pete have presented workshops at the National Accordion Convention that takes place in March every year in Dalls. There is content on the website about how to learn to play a diatonic accordion and also how to compose music for a diatonic box and also the ins and outs of becoming a busking musician. Come check us out!!!!!!!!!!
