Austin Polka Band — Eins, Zwei, G'Suffa!

Willkommen Y'all!

Austin Polka Band

Real Texas Gemütlichkeit Since 2002

Old-world oompah with a Texas twang.

The Austin Polka Band is a rotating ensemble of veteran musicians keeping polka, waltzes, and marches alive across Central Texas. Twenty-plus years in, we don't perform at a crowd — we pull everyone in. And you don't have to polka to dance with us. No experience required.

Give your next gathering some Gemütlichkeit.

The core band,

Seven pieces, one big sound


Trumpet Clarinet Accordion Drums Tuba Alto horn Lead singer · Euphonium

At its heart, the Austin Polka Band is a seven-piece: trumpet, clarinet, accordion, drums, tuba, alto horn, and a lead singer who doubles on euphonium. That's the core sound — vocals out front, a real bottom end, the lineup that fills a hall and gets everyone on their feet.

Throwing a festival or a really big party? We can scale up bigger to match the moment.

Eins, Zwei, G'Suffa!
