Fritz's Polka Band
Fritz's Polka Band
Fritz's Polka Band (FPB) was formed in 1978
by lead accordionist, the late Fred Scherz Sr., and
his eight-year old son, Fritz, for whom the band
was named. FPB has vowed to carry on his legacy
after Fred's passing. Playing everything from
modern-style polka to country to rock and even
blues! FPB is NOT the stereotypical "polka" band.
In fact, FPB is known for breaking the “polka”
stereotype and is the only polka band to perform
at a Woodstock Festival (’99)! Fritz’s Polka Band
has made 20 recordings, which have achieved
international airplay. In 2011, FPB had two
songs appear on ‘Breaking Bad’ during the fourth
season. In 2023, Fritz Scherz was inducted into the
National Cleveland-Style Polka Hall of Fame!
Phil Arcuri
Acoustic SingerSoloist plays avariety of oldies,classic, rock, popand country for allto enjoy!
Greens & Beans
Greens & Beans is a tasty soup/meal which
originated with the people of Italy during
the great depression. It was a family staple at
that time and has since continued as a family
tradition with the emphasis being on “family,
passion for living and enjoying life”.
The band Greens & Beans originated with that
premise in mind but with a twist. Two old
friends got together with their families to enjoy
their passion for making music together and
sharing it with you. Please “enjoy” your time
with us today!
