Seguin resident wins Big Squeeze Statewide Accordion Competition

Texas Folklife hosted the 14th annual Big Squeeze statewide accordion competition on May 1 to crown the state’s top youth accordion players in the traditional Texas accordion music genres — including conjunto, polka, Cajun and zydeco.  

This year’s competition was held virtually and streamed on Facebook Live to a virtual audience, due to the coronavirus pandemic.  

Seguin resident Isaak Wolfshohl, 18, won the event in the polka category this year with his performances of “Rosemunde” and “Bergvagabunden.” This was Wolfshohl’s second year to enter the competition.
