Fritz’s Polka Band Returns to Syracuse Polish Festival

Jagermeister-sponsored, Fritz’s Polka Band (FPB) from Verona, NY will perform again at the Syracuse Polish Festival (held in Clinton Square), in Syracuse, NY on Friday, June 19th. FPB’s scheduled performance times are 4pm, 6pm, and 9pm.

“We’re eager to return to the Syracuse Polish Festival,” said Fritz Scherz, bandleader of Fritz’s Polka Band. “Last year, the weather was ideal and there was a big crowd. Clinton Square is a great location for this festival and we’re hopeful of the weather will again cooperate.”

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.

In November 2008, FPB won an Upper State Independent Award in Syracuse, NY, in the International Category. Just last week, Fritz’s Polka Band won their first ever Syracuse Area Music Award (SAMMY) in the Best Recording: Other Styles category.
