Tom
Brusky is an
authentic, third-generation
polka musician from Milwaukee who is dedicated to
carrying on
the
music of the city's
great polka bands from the
past, like Louis Bashell, Tony Rademacher, Ferd Buchel, and Al Roberts.
Since the 1990s, they've performed as a two- to five-piece band, but
have recently scaled down
to a two-piece band for almost all
of their public and private performances. The duo
consists of acordion and drums. Tom's accordion has integrated
electronics
providing bass
and other sounds. With the accordion combined with drums and vocals,
the two-piece band
literally produces the same, full, lively, danceable sound of a
three-piece
band, but at a more affordable price.
As a polka band, they can entertain crowds with all the beer hall
favorites
like Roll
Out the Barrel and Who Stole
the Kishka, and strike sentimental chords with
classic waltzes such as Waltz Across
Texas and The Blue Skirt Waltz,
but they actually
boast a repertoire of over 200 polkas and waltzes. They
are firmly
established in Wisconsin's polka music circuit, and are
regularly hired
to provide polka music for Oktoberfests, festivals, fairs,
and all other events wanting an authentic polka experience.
Outside the
polka genre, their repertoire consists of over 200 standards,
foxtrots, two-steps,
rhumbas, cha-chas, swing, classic country, and
Christmas songs. They are
often hired by dance clubs for
our
variety music alone, but it is their combined repertoire of polkas,
waltzes, and variety music that makes them the premier band in town for
birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and so much more.
They perform
regularly
throughout our home territory of Southern Wisconsin, and will travel
to
wherever their music is desired, providing music for all occasions:
