SQUEEZE BOX PLAYER BRINGING POLKA MUSIC BACK IN STYLE
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Wireless Flash) Polka isnt just for old folks anymore because a 36-year-old Nashville musician hopes to make it popular again with young people. Lynn Marie Hrovatrink and her band, The Squeeze, are adding a modern twist to Slovenian-style polka by adding electric guitars and country music-style storytelling. Lynn Marie claims anyone who listens to polka winds up loving it and says her style is already popular with teens. Skeptical it will ever catch on? Well, last year Lynn Marie was the first woman to ever be nominated for a Grammy in the Polka category.
