A big summer lies ahead! I'm very happy to report that this
will be my busiest summer since 2019, and may be even busier
than that plus a few other years prior! The road trip for
Pint Size Polkas starts this Saturday in Iowa City before
making my way through Kansas next week. The rest of the
month I'll be spending in MI, MN, OH, VA and WI. I will
definitely be making people aware of the accordion during
National Accordion Awareness Month!
On the traditional polka front, I'll be making a very rare
band appearance at Hofbräuhaus Cleveland on Friday, June 16
between library shows in OH. I'll be sharing the stage with
two living polka legends, John Pecon, Jr. on drums, and Ron
Sluga on banjo. They were kind enough to help me out on a TV
spot in Cleveland back in 2009 when I first started Pint
Size Polkas, and we finally get to do a full gig together
after all these years! A very special thanks to Joey Tomsick
for helping make this extra gig possible. Hope to see all my
Cleveland area friends at this one-night-only event!
The following Monday, June 19, I'll be doing my Pint Size
Polkas program right across the street from the National
Cleveland Style Polka Hall of Fame at the Euclid Public
Library starting at 2 PM. Euclid is an historic place to the
style of polka music I play, and I very much look forward to
bringing my family program back there on June 19!
I'll also be doing a special program on the History of Polka
Music for adults at the Goodyear Branch of the Akron Public
Library on Monday, June 26 at 12:30 PM, so traditional polka
fans have that to look forward to, as well!
