About Polka Freak Out

When Grammy award winner Bubba Hernandez first heard Alex Meixner he wondered, "What would this guy sound like on a Tex-Mex tuned accordion with some Tejano players?"

The two tested this idea and quickly saw what was possible on many cultural fronts. Their unique project combines the illustrious wizardry of master accordionist Alex Meixner with the solid, rockin’ bass grooves and rich booming baritone vocals of Bubba Hernandez. Together they combine elements of polka traditions from around the world including, but not limited to, Slovenian, Austrian, Polish, Mariachi, and Serbian styles; on top of a Tex-Mex rhythm section and enveloped in a pop/rock aesthetic to produce a blend that is both powerfully energetic and remarkably beautiful. A blending that is familiar, but different: like two old cousins meeting for the first time, and the glorious party that ensues.

Key Selling Points:

* Veteran performers with over 50 years of combined experience, and a diverse roster of musicians and musical styles

* Touring throughout United States in major festivals and numerous club dates and private functions

* Grammy nominated album, plus two previous Grammy awards and six previous nominations for Bubba

* Available for In-store visits and radio interviews on tour route
