Wisconsin Polka discography
|
This page lists every Wisconsin-based Polka Band that I have been
able to find mentioned in various on-line and print sources, or seen in
person at dances, concerts and festivals. Like my
Wisconsin Bluegrass Bands
page, this page will attempt to list every known Polka band in the state,
whether or not they have ever recorded anything, whether or not there is
other known on-line information about them, and whether or not they are
still actively performing.
Please write
if you know about any bands not listed, or if you have additional
information about, or links for, a listed band.
no known recordings = artists/groups which will not be listed
in my forthcoming book,
(ca. 2028),
FolkLib Index: Wisconsin Discography,
unless a recording by them can be found.
