Alex Meixner

After a fun northeast tour- the boys are convening in Miami to play on Friday and Saturday the German – American Society of Greater Miami’s “Maibaum Fest”. We play inside the air-conditioned hall- with a copious supply of food and drink- so no worries about bad weather! (though the weather forecast is looking clear down there– hint, hint to our northern friends who have been experiencing all kinds of cold/ wet combinations and are seeing Miami flight deals!)

Everything is also gearing up for our 3-night stand at Krause’s Cafe in New Braunfels on Memorial Day weekend (Thurs-Fri- Sat May 23-24-25). We’ll have the Mighty Big Alex Meixner Band out there- with Mr. Sunshine- Ed Klancnik on drums, Jimmy Meyer on Guitar and Banjo, Chris Heslop- Sax-Clarinet-Flute-Trombone, Paddy King on Fiddle and Mandolin, Brett Cline on Keys, Tuba and Accordion and Michael Morris on Vocals and probably a few guests. We’re also going to be up in Ennis for the National Polka Festival on Sunday, May 26 before taking some time off in June… (I have a pretty big personal event on June 1 🙂 )

It’s rained. It’s been sunny. It’s been warm. It’s been cold– but The Alex Meixner Band travels on. We’ve been enjoying the gigs in Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania and are now trekking out to Long Island. It’s been a while since we’ve been out to the Village Lanterne in Lindenhurst, NY so we’re looking forward to some great food and of course seeing our Long Island friends. On Thursday the band will be hitting the stage at 7 pm — but definitely call ahead for reservations as soon as possible.

On Friday, we head back down to Oakford (Feasterville-Treavose), PA to perform for the United German Hungarians. This is always a fun bunch of dancers. Don Bitterlich will also be on hand to open up the show with some extra gemutlichkeit on his accordion.

Saturday brings out the good weather for Maifest at the Reading Liederkranz! We’ve had a lot of rain in the past on this event, but the forecast looks clear finally!! That said– rain or shine- We always have an awesome time up on the hill!

Sunday’s gig at Asbury Park Festhalle, unfortunately, had to be canceled due to management changes at the venue. We are hoping to be able to do a makeup gig later in the year.

Thanks to everyone coming out to the gigs. We’re having a lot of fun with ya’ll!
