Fritz’s Polka Band Returns to Old Forge

On Sunday, August 30th, Jagermeister-sponsored, Fritz’s Polka Band (FPB) from Verona, NY, will return to Old Forge, NY for the Waterfront Summer Concert Series, starting at 7pm.

“We’re looking forward to returning to Old Forge, as the last four years we’ve played there have just been simply great,” said Fritz Scherz, band leader of Fritz’s Polka Band. “The setting is picturesque, and it’s always great to see people of all ages in attendance. Since no two FPB performances are the same, we encourage people to attend, even if they did last year, as we’ll be performing another eclectic bunch of tunes.”

Fritz’s Polka Band has been performing for over 30 years, and made history in 1999, when they became the first polka band to perform at a Woodstock Festival in Rome, NY. On September 15, 2007, FPB made history again by becoming the first polka band to perform at the Metropolitan Club in New York City. FPB has made 16 recordings. FPB even appears on “The Manchurian Candidate” DVD which was released in July 2004. FPB previously won a Just Plain Folks Music Award in the Best Polka Song category for Bialczak’s Polka on November 4, 2006. In November 2008, FPB won an Upper State Independent Award in Syracuse, NY, in the International Category. In June 2009, Fritz’s Polka Band won their first ever Syracuse Area Music Award (SAMMY) in the Best Recording: Other Styles category for their “Reflections” recording.
