“The guys in Fritz’s Polka Band are anxious to return to Musikfest for the fifth year in a row,” said Fritz Scherz, band leader of Fritz’s Polka Band. “Each time we’ve played this festival, the crowds have been really big. A neat thing about this festival is that there are so many different musical genres and the audience welcomes it. It’s so thrilling to get booked to play at the largest free festival in the United States. I’m glad the promoters like my band’s eclectic musical style and I want to thank themonce again for having my band return.”
