Thursday Evening: Faltot's Famous Circle of Champions

While we are all familiar with the mysterious crop circles, at this year’s exploration of circles during the National Accordion Associations 25th Annual Convention and Trade Show you will find only accordionists who are among the world’s best, brightest and oftentimes humorous gathered for a night of fun in our own entertaining and amazing Circle of Champions!
Playing in a relaxed setting, among the NAA attendees, this up close and personal evening provides a different view of some of your favorite performers. A time to experiment, have fun and most importantly share the beauty of our wonderful instrument.
We invite you to join us for the third annual “Circle of Champions” as it promises to be a special 25th Anniversary edition.

Molly B and the SqueezeBox Band
Yes, this is the Molly B from RFD-TV
SQUEEZEBOX is a band based in NW Ohio that specializes in multiple genres of music including polkas, waltzes, fox-trots, 2-steps, big band, swing, square dances, and figure dances. With over 60 years combined experience between the core members of the band, we're able to accommodate nearly everyone's requests at our performances and strive to please everybody in attendance both on and off the dance floor! We have a diverse play list and vocals in English, Czech, German, and Polish. We play more than “just polkas.” While we let Molly B take a break, Nick Bratkovich will be playing another style of dance music.
Louise Kucera, da Polka Police says: "Let's have a party" at the National Polka Show and Dance!"
