Texas Folklife’s Big Squeeze 2022 was live and in person at the Bullock Texas State History Museum with young accordionists from around the state who have won the local run off contests to get to the level of state champion contests. Eleven accordionists under the age of 21 competed to win their category which was separated by age, under sixteen and sixteen to twenty-one. The categories were Polka, Zydeco, Cajun, and Conjunto. The winner of the Polka category was Elayne Doggett, age 10 of Plano; also competing in the Polka category was Timur Didych and Emily Nguyen. Elayne will next perform at the Accordion Kings and Queens Show in Houston in June.
