About The Squires
Video clip of the Squires in action here!
The Squires is a 4-piece dance band from the St. Paul area that has been playing for wedding dances, community events and various parties for over 30 years! (Read about the band's history) (Read about the band members here)
Our instrumentation includes:
Accordion, Guitar/Bass, Saxophone, and Drums plus full harmonic vocals.
This unique mix of instrumentation allows us to play a broad spectrum of music that many other bands can't. Our music consists of an extremely wide variety of dance music that has proven to meet the needs of all types of fun occasions for many years.
For the past 15 years we have played monthly at the Gasthof Zur Gemütlichkeit (A popular German Restaurant - Mario's Bar in N.E. Mpls.) and have had great responses from audiences of a wide range of ages.
During the past year, we played for the Cross Lake MN Summer Concert Series, the Hastings MN Summer Concert Series the First Annual New Richmond WI Oktoberfest and the 2nd Annual St. Anthony Main Riverfest/Oktoberfest! We also played for the 6th year in a row at the Beildenville Summer Classic Car Show in Ellsworth WI and the first annual Maplewood MN Classic Car Fair. We plan on being back at most of these venues again in 2008 plus more exciting locations.
In December, we taped two new one-hour shows for cable TV's Polka Spotlight Around The World Show with Bev Rambough and John Bulajic. You can catch the shows on channels 21 (Minnetonka area) or 6 (metro area) on a random basis each weekday at noon. We are the most requested band by viewers of this unique show and have taped over 8 shows over the past 5 years.
