DSB Die Schlauberger www.dsbworld.com die Schlauberger (dSb) is musical proof that a band can please just about everyone. dSb is a powerhouse of musical expertise whose very mission is "Keeping the Traditionalists on their Feet and the New Generation Interested." Performing festival standards to rock-and-roll-meets-alpine-power, they expend enough energy to light up not only the crowd, but the fairgrounds, too. From the moment dSb steps on stage until they have wrung the final note from their last song, the band engages everyone within earshot to "expect the unexpected, then join in the fun."

Alex Meixner Band www.alexmeixner.com Alex Meixner carries on a family tradition of music brought to the USA by his Austrian great grandfather. Building upon this foundation and extensive performances/ touring with his father in The Al Meixner Trio for many years, Alex has developed a fresh musical voice that has made him one of the most exciting performers on the American polka scene. Alex’s high energy performances of everything from old time polkas and waltzes to more jazz and pop influenced repertoire has won over audiences throughout North America and continues to attract new fans. Equally at home with traditional and contemporary styles, performances on about a dozen instruments (including the 12 foot long Swiss Alphorn and trademark Meixner Button Box) and vocals in English, German, Slovenian, Croatian, Czech and more - the band’s reputation continues to grow.
