Alex Meixner

Alex Meixner carries on a Family Tradition of music brought to the USA by his Austrian great-grandfather. Building upon this foundation and extensive performances/ touring with his father in The Al Meixner Trio for many years, Alex has developed a fresh musical voice that has made him one of the most exciting performers on the American polka scene

Alex’s high-energy performances of everything from old-time polkas and waltzes to more jazz and pop-influenced repertoire have won over audiences throughout North America and continues to attract new fans. Equally at home with traditional and contemporary styles, performances on about a dozen instruments (including the 12-foot-long Swiss Alphorn and trademark Meixner Button Box sound) and vocals in English, German, Slovenian, Croatian, Czech, and more- the band’s reputation continues to grow.

From dynamic polkas and waltzes to Gypsy folk songs to Rocktoberfest parodies, Swing, Latin and Country dance music- the dizzying array of music is perfect for everything from World Music Concerts and family-friendly folk festivals to a frenetic non-stop dance party.
