The seven-time WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) award-winning SQUEEZETTES (2026, 2025, 2023, 2017, 2015, 2013, 2012) are noted as one the state’s most unique attractions. They have been featured on national PBS and NPR programs, are a staple at regional events, and are also seven-time Shepherd Express Best of Milwaukee Music winners (2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019). Their uber-diverse repertoire breathes fresh life into traditional polkas and waltzes, mashes up vintage pop hits, and unearths random tunes you never thought you’d hear played on accordion and tuba.
Where else but Milwaukee would you find such an undeniably quirky, contagiously fun band fronted by ex-burlesque chanteuse-turned-old-school torch singer, and a band armed with a big, beautiful, Swarovski-encrusted Baldoni accordion, tuba, and a drummer that can rhythmically charm a beer hall to its foundation?
If you’re looking for an uber fun time, you'll find it with the Squeezettes!
"The Squeezettes are a band that takes chances
and breaks a few rules. They are indeed the
music makers and the dreamers of dreams."
-Mike Lowe, Fox6 News
"One part raucous-punk polka courtesy of
The Squeezettes."
-OccupyRiverwest.com
“The Squeezettes bring their squeezebox swagger to the stage, keeping the party rolling…”
- Elm Grove News
The spirit of polka still breathes....
from Milwaukee!
