Jagermeister-sponsored, Fritz's Polka Band (FPB) was formed in 1978 by lead accordionist, the late Fred Scherz Sr., and his eight-year old son, Fritz, for whom the band was named. Sadly, Fred passed away on November 14, 2009. However, Fritz has vowed to keep FPB going. FPB performs an eclectic mix of musical styles, including modern polka, country, rock, and more! Fritz's Polka Band is NOT an oompa pa band or the stereotypical "polka" band. In fact, FPB is known for breaking the stereotype regarding "polka" music.

King's Blues Club in New York City, as well as The China Club in New York City, and the Metropolitan Club in New York City!
