  • Bio

    An eclectic and international cast of characters including a Canadian folk fiddler, the Met's contrabassonist, an Israeli accordionist and percussionist, a jack-of-all-trades bassist, a French Horn playing record store clerk and an internationally renowned violin soloist met in a New Jersey studio to record a polka album just for fun. An idea that began as a joke quickly grew into an eccentric, virtuosic and energetic exploration of the roots of polka: folk, country, classical and jazz. Polkastra is a unique world music project that celebrates both the joy of music and the power of dance to unite cultures. From the American Midwest and the North of Canada to the mountains of Bohemia and the deserts of Israel - Apolkalypse Now poses the important question "Would you like sauerkraut, poutine, goulash or hummus with that?"......Become a fan on Facebook...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

  • Influences

    Everything we've ever played is a product of everything we've ever heard. Between us, we've heard some pretty strange stuff.
  • Sounds Like

    Jimmy Sturr at the Philharmonic, if Gustavo Dudamel was Polish or, perhaps, the record Manfred Eicher never quite got drunk enough to make.
