For over ten years, the Chardon Polka Band has worked to build an extremely diverse polka band. Their brand of playing has been labeled "punk polka", but the group can still please the most avid of Lawrence Welk fans. The Chardon Polka Band plays traditional polkas, but does it with a unique flair. They're hip, edgy, humorous, and above all- energetic. The Chardon Polka Band's one-of-a kind style and attitude has endeared them to polka fans of all ages around the country.

The band's three CDs of original music and old polkas receive airplay on polka stations world wide. While they can "kick it" with the best traditional polka fans, the band does know how to crank things up. The members of the polka ensemble have backgrounds in metal, punk, and rock. . and they're not afraid to let that show. When they turn it up a notch, we play hits from Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Queen, Twisted Sister, Vanilla Ice, and anything else you can think of.
