They have been known to channel Lawrence Welk, the Grand Ole Opry and Tom Waits all in one song. This is the essence of the genre-warped experience of Austin's own BLUESQUEEZEBOX.

Gravelly-voiced frontman Clif Tipton plays his blue accordion with a soulful saunter that underscores the blues-soaked psychobilly sound of this gloriously eclectic sextet. Tipton and his squeezebox are backed by a motley crew of young musicians who play stand up bass, electric jazz-surf guitar, tuba, banjo, trumpet, drums and a slew of other instruments collected along the way.

No American folk or popular musical genre is spared the BLUESQUEEZEBOX treatment. Guaranteed for fun and frolick!
