| ABOUT
THE BAND |
|
After Frank's passing, Jeff continued to perform many of the engagements that still wanted the Yankovic music for their events. The style greatly appeals to a broader market than some other polka styles and has a unique way of creating an excitement level with audiences, even those that may not be "polka fans" initially. This is evident in the recent success Jeff has experienced performing at Conejito’s - Milwaukee’s landmark Mexican restaurant (s. 6th & Virginia St.) as well as college parties and bars. Although polka and waltz music is what the band features, their repertoire does include other dance music. In addition to being a skilled accordionist, Jeff is also an accomplished performer on trumpet, drums, keyboards, and other brass instruments. The Jeff Winard Band continues to be a favorite of young and old alike and has enjoyed much success over its many years of existence. The band has produced several recordings available on this webpage, the most recent in 2008 to commemorate Jeff's 40 years in the music business. For a versatile band always able to draw good crowds with a strong reputation for showing the people a good time - contact Jeff for your next function where polka music is desired. Several options are available for size of the group and length of performance to accommodate all budgets. Appearances in recent years include Wisconsin State Fair, Summerfest, Polish Fest, Festa Italiana, German Fest, West Allis Western Days, Rainbow Summer, Humboldt Park Polkafest, and numerous other festivals, weddings, and events where quality, live music is desired. Over the years, Jeff has performed on shows with the likes of Bob Hope, Danny Thomas, Rosemary Clooney, Myron Floren, Joey Miskulin, and Patti Page just to name a few, as well as performing for Vice-President Walter Mondale and also Sen. Ted Kennedy. For booking information, contact Jeff Winard at (262) 695-6474. PO Box 14756 Milwaukee, WI 53214 USA |
