Meanwhile, in the usual FPB spirit of fun, we've got a whole bunch of our friends going on a bus trip to this gig. We’ve got some pretty cool surprises planned, too, for the friends going with us. Let me just say it involves some Grammy winners!”Fritz's Polka Band has been performing for over 36 years, and made history in 1999 by becoming the first polka band to perform at a Woodstock Festival in Rome, NY.  FPB has made 18 recordings and appears on "The Manchurian Candidate" DVD which was released in 2004.  FPB won a Just Plain Folks Music Award in the Best Polka Song category for Bialczak’s Polka in 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.  In 2011, FPB had two songs (‘Grandparent’s Polka’ and ‘Here Is Fritz’s Polka Band’) included in two different episodes of the TV show, ‘Breaking Bad’.  FPB was also nominated last year for two USI Awards. On November 1, 2013, FPB released their 18th recording, a double live CD entitled, “The WSKG Sessions”. A few weeks ago, all FPB members found out they got nominated for national awards by the Cleveland-Style Polka Hall of Fame!           For more info on FPB, visit the band’s website:  www.fritzspolkaband.com, their Facebook page at:www.facebook.com/fritzspolkaband, their Twitter feed at: www.twitter.com/fritzspolkaband or call (315) 363-3509.# # #
