Make Some Noise is finally here!! The CD (t-shirts, and hat pins and stickers ) all got rave reviews at Wurstfest and now you can get it online here!

After a week of fun stuff at the kids’ schools, Thanksgiving is here. In addition to big meals and football, for many of us in the Slovenian side of the polka field, that also means the 55th Annual Thanksgiving Polka Festival in Cleveland, Ohio. I’m looking forward to being there on Friday doing a special solo presentation on some historic Mervar button accordions from David Slick’s collection ( 4- 5:30 in the side room). Then on Saturday, I’m performing a solo with the all-star band in the awards show before doing a set as a guest artist with Klancnik and Friends. It’s going to be a fun time!! Hope to see a bunch of y’all there.

Best wishes for a happy Thanksgiving And remember to stock your family and friends with plenty of Alex Meixner band merch as Christmas presents!!!

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!
