"Rocktoberfest Polka!" All the fun of great polkas and
Oktoberfest favourites, brought to you by Canada's very best: The Black
Forest Band, with special guests Deb Misener Jones and the Zigge
Zagges - Hoi, Hoi, Hoi!
The Black Forest Band is the best known group to
perform at Kitchener-Waterloo's Oktoberfest each year. Not just renowned for
being an elite polka band in Canada and the United States, but also as one of
Canada's best loved party bands! They have a
wonderful ability to charm an audience and draw them into the Oktoberfest party
atmosphere and are a full entertainment experience. The BFB loves their fans
and they know the show is all for you!
Rocktoberfest Polka isn't just a concert performance
of authentic German, Austrian, Swiss and Viennese music styles. It is an
interactice experience where you may find your feet doing a polka while you're
singing along! The music really does cross
generations when played with this much fun and passion! |
The Black Forest Band has been
performing in Canada, the USA and the Caribbean since 1981. They have recorded
several CDs with great thanks to their loyal fans! Whether it's holding court
at an Oktoberfest, or sharing the same stage as legends of rock, pop, or
traditional music at a festival, this band knows how to
entertain!
