Since 1997, The Polkaholics have been playing a high-speed collision of polka and rock, creating a sound that is simultaneously new and old. As noted by Mary Houlihan of Chicago Sun-Times, “The Polkaholics stun and amaze while wreaking havoc to both traditional polka and rock genres!” Using a rock-trio format of guitar/bass/drums to power their polka, The Polkaholics shake some action with a heavy polka beat, creating a sound that fuses the beergarden with the mosh pit. In other words, something for everyone! Some love the rocking sound of the band, while others appreciate their mission to keep polka alive and vital in today’s music scene. Playing old favorites like “Beer Barrel Polka” and “Chicken Dance,” or new classics like “Polkas on Guitar” and “Blue Haired Lady,” The Polkaholics repertoire is filled with songs that are all about FUN! Throw in their glittery outfits and wild showmanship, and you’ve got a band that is intent on Entertaining, with a capital E, and creating the “life of the party” atmosphere at every show.https://topchicago.org/event/the-polkaholics-2024/
