| ‘The Great American Squeeze Off’ accordion festival takes place at the beautiful Best Western Concorde Inn, 44315 N. Gratiot Ave, Clinton Township, Detroit area, on July 27th and 28th. The chief guests are Dick Contino, Corky Bennett and Cory Pesaturo. Also featured are Detroit accordionists Walt Lipiec, Joe Recchia, John Shollack, Chet Wisnoski and ‘Made in Italy’, a fabulous Italian trio! Joining us, too, will be Las Vegas artist and former Detroiter Joe Cairo, and Al Battistelli from Lorain, Ohio. Corky Bennett, wishing to do something special, has decided to have a draw. Anyone who has purchased a 2 day ticket, will be included in a draw to win a personal dinner date with the fabulous Dick Contino on the evening of July 26th, the night before the start of the festival. The last day to be included in the draw will be July 20th. The festival includes a tribute for the late, great Tony Dannon, who passed away on April 12th 2011 at the age of 87. This will include never released music by Tony Dannon and Lillian Dimara, along with a special feature "Growing up with an Accordion Legend", with music arranged by both Tony Dannon and his nephew, performed by Joe Recchia. The Concorde Inn has offered a discount, if you mention ‘Accordion Festival’, when making reservations. This discount will make your hotel room rate $89 per night!
