Dan "Daddy Squeeze" Newton has been playing offbeat accordion music since 1987, when he won the Nebraska State Accordion Contest at the Czech Festival in Wilber, Ne. He has used the squeeze box for playing all kinds of music not normally associated with free-reed instruments, as well as standard accordion material. His forays into previously uncharted squeeze box territories include blues, Renaissance, Appalachian, ragtime and reggae.
Daddy Squeeze also enjoys mixing up styles and genres that don't generally seem compatible. "Music out of context", or "Ethno-clectic Bop" is the result of his gender-bending experiments with Celtic, Tex-Mex, Creole, Blues, Jazz, Scandinavian, Polka and pop music.
He has appeared on the popular "A Prairie Home Companion" radio show many times, both as a guest and a member of the "Guy's All Star Shoe Band". Dan is featured on recordings by The Proclaimers, Son Volt, Prudence Johnson, Peter Ostroushko, Garrison Keillor, Pat Donohue, Peter Mayer, Ann Reed, Bill Isles, Mick Sterling, and Neal & Leandra, among others.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
