InfluencesEverything we've ever played is a product of everything we've ever heard. Between us, we've heard some pretty strange stuff.
Sounds LikeJimmy Sturr at the Philharmonic, if Gustavo Dudamel was Polish or, perhaps, the record Manfred Eicher never quite got drunk enough to make.

   About Polkastra
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?"

Bravo you guys... and major props to the Kontrafaggott. Seriously, it has a place in my heart.

(...but F Jimmy Sturr... he and his electric bass polka can kiss my tuba playing butt!)

:) Keep up the good work Polkastra. Catch you around town.
