The The Polka Family
The Polka Family began back in the 1970's as a single-family group in Southern California, playing for relatives and small public gatherings. Nearly every summer, the family would travel to Mt. Carmel, PA to visit the children's grandparents and other relatives. They would play at small affairs while in the area, and on occasion get to see a "big time" polka band perform - one of which was none other than Happy Louie from Palmer, MA. Louie's band would later prove to have a significant effect on the future musical sound of the Polka Family.

Chardon Polka Band
One of the youngest in age Polka bands from Youngstown, Ohio.
The Chardon Polka Band is known for being innovative and extremely adaptive with the ability to please almost any audience; whether it be 20-somethings at a college hang-out, or the patrons of a local senior center. In their nine years together, the band has made a name for itself by adding a colorful twist to the traditional genre of the polka. The Chardon Polka Band is not your average polka band. They are a group that brings new life and energy to this traditional music genre. While the group has an extensive catalogue of traditional polkas, they are not afraid to bring their own tunes into the mix along with polka-pop covers of artists like Justin Bieber and Lady Ga Ga.
