Chloe Johnson, 2019 Big Squeeze Cajun/Zydeo Champion. The Big Squeeze is a statewide contest where Texan accordion players ages 21 and under (25 or younger for the Zydeco & Cajun category) showcase their performance abilities in three main accordion genres: Polka, Zydeco & Cajun, and Conjunto/Tejano. Since 2007, over 300 young musicians from more than 35 Texas towns and cities have participated. Contestants represent communities across this great state, including the Rio Grande Valley, Houston, the Gulf Coast, Greater Dallas Area, San Antonio, Lubbock, the Permian Basin, and more!
