Grammy winner David Farias, who will also perform with Los Hermanos Farias on Saturday, November 13, spoke to Tejano Nation about his participation in the finale. “I feel honored, it’s going to be a big accordion abuse with four, five, six accordion players up there so at the end it’s going to be a grand finale,” he said. “It’s going to be great. All these years, I’ve been doing music and being a part of this grand finale of all the accordions at this conjunto festival de parte de (from) Quartermoon Productions with Mr. Jim Luna, it’s going to be good!”

Grammy winner JR Gomez, who will hit the stage on Saturday with his band, Los Conjunto Bandits, tells Tejano Nation he’s excited to be a part of history. “It’s awesome. I’ve done some accordion shootouts before with maybe three or four guys but this one’s going to top it — top it to the max — we’ve got great accordion players,” he said. “It’s an honor to be a part of that and do something that’s never been done before with that many accordion players, so it’s an honor to be a part of that.”
