Art plus Accordions, equal Mom, and the added bonus of meeting 30 artists in their studios and a unique Main Gallery display.
Yes, to celebrate Moms.
Or, your main squeeze.
Plenty of art, jewelry, etc., to buy Mom.
And, where else are you gonna go in Loveland on Mom's Day Eve to whirl her around a wooden dance floor in an ole public school building to live accordion squeezings? Mum just might teach ya some new moves.
Lest mentioning some other important details... Pretzels and Cold Beer to warm mum's heart.
The Loveland Artists Studios on Main is at 529 Main Street, near the Loveland Post Office.
Purchased by Shawn and Chandra Custis in 2005, it was originally slated to be an antique mall. But when they were approached by a local glass artist with a big idea for art studios, they were sold on the idea of creating a sort of art colony; a place where art would be created and where the public could visit the studios, browse the gallery, and learn about art.
About Squeeze Play...
Squeeze Play was formed in January 1991 with the goal of being the biggest accordion band in the region. Our first big performance was the Zinzinnati Oktoberfest in September 1992. And we have been invited to play at every Oktoberfest since then. We have also occasionally performed with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.
Squeeze Play performs for audiences at many civic dances, church festivals, and retirement centers. We entertain with “happy-feet music” and audience participation.
We are about the size of a big band, except that many of us play accordion. Yet our players are versatile, giving us the traditional big band sound with saxes, clarinets, flutes, brass, guitars, and keyboard. Because of this versatility, we can perform not only big band music, but many other styles; 50’s and 60’s tunes, great Broadway Medleys, memorable Movie Themes, and lots more. And when the accordions are strapped on, we perform polkas and other ethnic tunes as they should be authentically played. So our programs always have a wide variety of musical styles, with tunes that will please everyone in the crowd.
