FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
FRITZ'S POLKA BAND TAPES FOUR TV SHOWS BEFORE A CAPACITY CROWD!!!
Jagermeister-sponsored, Fritz's Polka Band (FPB) from Verona, NY, taped four TV shows before a capacity crowd for
the “Let’s Polka” program aired on WSKG in Vestal, NY on February 4, 2012. This marked the first time FPB had recorded a full
TV show since FPB founding member, Fred Scherz Sr. passed away back in 2009.
“Although this was the first time we had recorded a full TV show since my Dad passed away, we wanted to be sure honor
him during the tapings, as we continue to miss him both on and off the stage,” said Fritz Scherz, band leader of Fritz’s Polka
Band. “We recorded four complete shows, and we played at least one song written by Dad during each show. For the taping of
the last show of the day, I even played my Dad’s first Excelsior accordion. The guys in Fritz’s Polka Band want to thank the
capacity crowd for welcoming us back to New York’s southern tier as well as the great staff at WSKG for the excellent hospitality.
We also want to thank our good friend of many years, Bill Flynn who was the host for each of our four shows. Last, but certainly
not least, we thank our friends that went on the bus trip with us and made it so memorable! This was truly another great moment
in FPB history!”
Fritz's Polka Band has been performing for over 33 years, and made history in 1999, when they became the first polka
band to perform at a Woodstock Festival in Rome, NY. FPB has made 17 recordings and even appears on "The Manchurian
Candidate" DVD which was released in July 2004. FPB won a Just Plain Folks Music Award in the Best Polka Song category for
Bialczak’s Polka on November 4, 2008. FPB won an Upper State Independent (USI) Award in Syracuse, NY, in the International
Category in 2008 and 2009. In June 2009, FPB won their first ever Syracuse Area Music Award (SAMMY) in the Best Recording:
Other Styles category for their “Reflections” recording. In 2010, FPB was inducted into the Syracuse Area Music Hall of Fame.
Last year, FPB had two songs (‘Grandparent’s Polka’ and ‘Here Is Fritz’s Polka Band’) included in two different episodes of the hit
TV show, ‘Breaking Bad’, seen on the AMC channel at 10pm (EST). FPB was also nominated last year for an USI Award.
