Dan Newton Trio June 11, 2012

Dan "Daddy Squeeze" Newton has been entertaining audiences and changing popular opinions about the accordion since 1978. He is an innovative musician, bandleader, composer, arranger and producer who is in great demand for all his talents. He appears regularly as a guest on Garrison Keillor's 'A Prairie Home Companion' radio show. Imagine, if you can, a banjo and accordion treatment of 'Cat Scratch Fever' or a bewigged rendition of Frank and Nancy Sinatra's 'Something Stupid,' a Tango/Klezmer treatment of Cher's 'Bang Bang,' or a Tom Waits-influenced beat poetry reading of 'Takin' Care of Business.' The Trio also offers Louisiana-style dance music, Tex-Mex, Brazilian Forro, Cumbia, French Musette, Gypsy Swing, and has become a showcase for Dan "Daddy Squeeze" Newton's original songs.
