After a rainy weekend in Miami (and from the looks of the map- most of the nation!!)- the polka van is pointed towards Texas. The boys are driving across the panhandle and the bayous (with stops for Boudain Balls, Buc-ees, and BBQ) while I get a few days at home with the kids for the end of the school year.

We’re all excited for another 3 day run for Maifest at Krause’s in New Braunfels on Thursday-Friday-Saturday, May 24-26, 2018. The general admission single tickets recently went on sale (as the full tables got first priority)- so call up and head over for some fun Maifest mayhem. The Faust’s Alex Meixner Polka Pils will be on draft, the food will be great and we’re all excited to perform for our awesome New Braunfels peeps!

Sunday brings the band back to a return performance at the National Polka Festival in Ennis, Texas at the KJT Hall starting at 1:30 PM. We’ll be alternating with our good ol’ friends Czech and Then Some, and opening for Brave Combo (which if I’m not mistaken, will be featuring Bubba Hernandez, so, if my bro gets there early, maybe we can talk him into doing a tune or tune with us too.)

And then very early Monday morning, I’ll be jumping on a plane for Newark, NJ and then hitching a ride to Allentown for the Great Pennsylvania Music and Arts Celebration. I’ll be performing in a bunch of different settings including a full set with John Stevens and Double Shot.

Hope to see a bunch of y’all this coming weekend!!

After a very successful northeast Maifest tour, the polka van braved the rains home to Florida and has gotten a thorough home washing- just in time for everything to clear up this weekend for 3 days at Maibaum Fest in Miami, FL. This is our first time doing a festival for the German American Society of Greater Miami, but we anticipate a fun weekend with schuhplattler dancers, an attempt at breaking the world record for largest Maibaum dance, and plenty of wonderful German food and beverages!!

Also– single tickets are now available for next week’s performances at Krause’s Cafe in New Braunfels, TX. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone down there soon!!

Our new album and a whole bunch of other really cool things are in the works too! Please make sure you’re following The Alex Meixner Band on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram— and of course, I greatly appreciate any sharing with your friends to help bring them into our scene too!!

Hope your day is being pepped up with some polkas!! alex
