ALEX MEIXNER BAND

DAS Fest USA must see performance!

Have you ever heard Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train played on an accordion?  You're in for a treat!  Nationally acclaimed, Grammy-nominated musician and producer Alex Meixner can play over 12 instruments, and sing in 11 languages.  The band brings a contagious, high-energy, cross-pollination of exuberant Central European party music, letting die-hard polka fans enjoy and embrace evolution, and hipsters discover all there is to love in the underappreciated, innately fun genre.  Did we mention you're in for a treat?
