Bavarian Specialties- Our Official Trachten Supplier

Alex — Thu, 09 May 2013 19:56:18 +0000

We have recently teamed up with our good friend Andreas Schwarzkopf from Frankenmuth, MI to get some new lederhosen! His company, Bavarian Specialties, LLC ( www.bavarianspecialty.com ) has a wonderful array of trachten (lederhosen, bundhosen, dirndl dresses, shoes, hats, socks, shirts– you name it!) as well as recordings and other gift items from Germany and Austria. We’re all sure you’ll find Andreas and his peeps to be very friendly and helpful in finding the right attire or gifts from Europe. They will be at more festivals this year with The Alex Meixner Band so you can get your festive attire and sport it with the band too!! We’re looking forward to showing off more of our new styles in the near future!

Red Hot Polkas in Cleveland on June 23rd!

Red Hot Polka Blast on Sunday, June 23, 2013 from 2-6pm featuring Grammy Nominated Alex Meixner and his band from Palm City, FL with Cleveland Polka institution- the multi-award winning Don Wojtila Band.

I have admired Don Wojtila ever since I was a little kid hearing “Goodtime Polkas” at my Dad’s record shop and seeing the Wojtila Brothers band perform at the Evanstown Picnic Grounds out in PA. The creativity of the Wojtila band has always been a source of inspiration for my music and I hope to continue the tradition of playing the old tunes and creating new ones that will keep future generations interested in the Cleveland polka sound.

Return to Texas & PCB

It’s time for the next road trip already! Heading back up to Panama City
Beach for a 4 day stand at the Hofbrau Biergarten which culminates in the
Sunday, March 17 St Patty’s show! What better way to celebrate the day of
green, than beer, great food and the 3 ring circus of Meixner music at the
Hofbrau!! We don’t know any better way!!!!

From there– it’s off to Texas!!! I’m really excited about the growth of
educational work again in my tours. I just had a wonderful 4 day residency
at the Oil City, PA HS (Special thanks to Bob Flath and Dan Cartwright for
all of their amazing work to make it happen so successfully!) and I’m on to
a day of accordion seminars at Heritage Arts in Pasadena, TX- as well as a
day of clinics with the High School band program at Klein Forest in Houston
area. Of course the tour is centered around 3 days at the Tomball German
Fest on Fri-Sat-Sun March 22-23-24!! www.polkabeat.com is sponsoring the
performances by The Alex Meixner Band in Tomball, as well as a special,
unplugged, solo show by Alex at Cactus Music in Houston on Thursday March
21.

To the northeast….

Alex — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 04:18:51 +0000

I am making a rare winter trip to the northeast– hopefully I can bring some Florida sunshine and temperatures with me!!! I’m very excited to be embarking on a 4 day residency at Oil City High School. It’s great to have the opportunity to collaborate with great teachers and students on some music for nearly a week, before meeting up with the rest of the band for our premier engagement at the Bierhaus in NYC (Friday March 1) and the marathon “Irish Day” at the Pilsener Haus in Hoboken, NJ on Saturday March 2. Hoping to have a few guests with the band as well– so keep an eye out for some extra fun! We’ll also be continuing the road tests of some new songs that were created at our sessions in San Antonio and premiered in New Braunfels, TX at our first of a seemingly annual Fat Tuesday shows at the Brauntex Theatre (We’ve already been engaged for 2014 and promises towards 2015!!! Have I ever mentioned how much I love New Braunfels? )
