Welcome to



 

"A picture is worth a thousand words!"  In the slide show above, having fun is the common denominator in each photo. Alpine Squeeze! keeps the traditions alive with spirited polka's and enchanting waltzes.  Latin, pop, country and jazz are also in the mix!  Each band member brings their musical experience to the stage resulting in an affordable, quality performance for any occasion.   Based on the size of the venue or event, Alpine Squeeze! can add additional band members as needed.  

In addition to performing locally in the New York, tri-state area, past performances include Las Vegas, Boston, Newport, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Florida, Canada and most recently, the Caribbean.  

Led by Eric Baal, Alpine Squeeze! strives to perfect the balance of the traditional instruments with modern technology, bringing happiness to many through their lively performances.  

Alpine Squeeze's debut album entitled "Tropical Squeeze" was released on July 15, 2006.

Alpine Squeeze! to Appear in "Morning Glory" with Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton and Rachel McAdams.

June 16, 2009.  Katonah, NY.   Alpine Squeeze! was on the set for the upcoming Paramount movie “Morning Glory” starring Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton and Rachel McAdams.   The movie is about a talented television producer who loses a promotion to her backstabbing boyfriend and returns home to Rhode Island with her life in tatters.  Lured back to New York by her former network boss, she is set for the challenge of reviving a struggling morning show; a task made all the more difficult by its feuding anchors.  

Band members Eric Baal, Cherie Baal, Joe Mariany, Dana Sylvander and Bob Carapezza were filmed in four scenes which take place at a sauerkraut festival in Westchester County, NY.   After the shoot, Director Roger Michell said we did a great job!   The movie is scheduled to be released next year on July 10, 2010.

Janet Maassmann Winner of NAME THE CHICKEN CONTEST!

RIEDLBAUER!  RIEDLBAUER!  RIEDLBAUER!

June 13, 2009.   Roundtop, NY.   For several months now Alpine Squeeze! has been looking to our fans to name our feathery friend.   Well, during our performance at Riedlbauer's Summerfest this past Saturday, the wait was finally over.   Out of 12 nominations, the audience, consisting of several hundred, voted for best nomination.   The winner?  Janet Maasmann.  Her nomination?   "RIEDLBAUER."   

Second runner up was "Schnitzl Fritz" by Jerry Seitz.   However, the crowd meter sided for Riedlbauer and so it was decided!  Immediately thereafter folks were dancing to the Chicken Dance and toasting to the newly named mascot! 

Janet is a member of the Riedlbauer Schuhplattler Group who performed during the festival.  Janet was quite surprised when the crowd voted her nomination as #1.  On behalf of Alpine Squeeze! and chicken dancers everywhere, thank you Janet!   Great job!

PROSIT!
