Post Grammys: LynnMarie Is Donning Her Party Dress and Is Ready To Move On

Once dubbed “The Dixie Chick of Accordion” by Jay Leno, Button Box Accordion Great LynnMarie isn't ready to make nice with the genre establishment after her fourth Grammy nomination in the category of Best Polka Album—for the brilliant country-rock-pop influenced Party Dress —didn't take the first woman ever nominated in the genre to the winner's circle. She's determined to move on and create music now for openminded listeners who are eager to embrace her progressive melodic and highly rhythmic accordion music.

“Polka got me to the party, but now I want to get out there and start making music with and for people who think and create beyond the safety net of pigeonholing,” she says. “Creatively, this experience is going to be the best thing that ever happened to me, and I'm excited to be moving on to bigger and better things in my career. I've been a bridesmaid four times now but it's great to be single again and have the freedom to explore new opportunities.”
