For over 40 Years, this band has been
a household name. What started as a casual get-together
of three musicians in late 1962, grew to a four-piece
band by 1963 and eventually evolved into a group
of five musicians by 1985.
Throughout the years, the group has never had
a leader, even though at times it seems as there
might be as many as five. Everyone shares in the
responsibilities and privileges, a unique set-up
that has proven very successful.
One might ask about the secret of such an endurance?
Quite simple-they all love music! But what's more,
they like to have fun and Gemuetlichkeit with their
followers!
Specializing in authentic German music, the group
has provided polkas, marches and bouncy waltzes
for many parties, weddings, picnics and German
Fests throughout the Midwest. Butchertown, Oktoberfest,
Strassenfest, Belle of Louisville Cruises and dances
at the local German-American Club, just to mention
a few. Also out of town engagements such as Ft.
Wayne, Terra Haute, Evansville, Jasper and Indianapolis
in Indiana-Atlanta GA, Greenville NC and Rosville
TN are not uncommon. They have also entertained
patrons of several casinos such as in Manistee
MI, Tupelo MS and Ceasars in Indiana!
Holding up German tradition, the band wears
Lederhosen, short leather pants held up by bright
suspenders. These costumes along with their up-beat
tempo contribute to getting the crowd involves,
both old and young!
Over the years the band has released albums and
tapes of their music, with their biggest hit in
1982, the Duck Dance, a happy tune to dance to.
Their latest CD, titled German-American Classics
will take you on a musical journey of happy tunes.
It contains a mixture of polkas, waltzes and marches
as well as rhumbas, rheinlaender, slow waltzes
and a little bit of country. Their version of the Duck
Dance (Chicken Dance) has been a crowd favorite
for many years.
