It’s that time of year!!

We’re loading the van for New Braunfels, Texas’ Wurstfest which is always one of the most anticipated gigs of the year! This year is a particularly special one for me. It will be the 20th year I have the opportunity to entertain our fans, many of whom have become friends. There will be plenty of guests with the band, as well as an extended version of our crew- with almost all of the band regulars appearing over the course of our 7 nights.

One of our guests has never been to New Braunfels before- Mr. Denis Novato– the absolute world champion of the diatonic button accordion from Italy. For those of you who are unfamiliar with him- just check him out on YouTube and prepare the be amazed. He’s superhuman and an absolutely great guy. I look forward to featuring him and his trio (which includes my old bandmate Mikey Kramar) with us on Friday-Saturday- Sunday.

Also– last but certainly not least– the new album- MAKE SOME NOISE is being released on Friday. It’s not available online yet, but will be soon. The attendees at Wurstfest get first chance to buy not only the new CD, but also new t-shirts, stickers and hat pins.

The band and I are all looking forward to seeing y’all there! Can’t wait to Stand and Sing Ein Prosit and Make Some Noise with our Three Ring Circus while we Stay All Night and Choose Happiness… It’s a Family Tradition ya know!

After a super long distance last leg of the Oktoberfest tour (Pennsylvania to Oklahoma to New Orleans and finally back to Florida), I got a week at home with my kiddos and Paula.

October still is a party month though!! Tonight the boys and I are performing a private Oktoberfest party close to home and then we head up to Casselberry for the last Saturday of Oktoberfest at the German American Society of Central Florida. We’re playing outside while Dan Witucki and Heimatland Musikanten are playing inside the clubhouse.

On Sunday we stay in the Orlando area to perform for Never Stand Alone’s benefit “OktoberFiesta” in Winter Park. We’ll be sharing the stage with a salsa band and a mariachi band to support a great cause.
