Album Notes

With the release of \"Shining Up Old Favorites\", the duo of John and Mark Dujka are marking their 22nd year in the entertainment business. They have appeared at numerous public and private celebrations throughout Texas spreading their excitement for the traditional music that helped build and strengthen Czech and German communities in the state. They have performed at some of Texas\' biggest festivals; Wurstfest, Westfest, the Caldwell Kolache Festival, the Ennis National Polka Festival, and numerous smaller community festivals that promote the rich folk heritage of the state. They have been featured on the Big Joe Polka Show on RFD-TV and performed to much acclaim at the 2008 Beckster Fest in Amana, IA. Between the two brothers, they play a total of 12 different instruments on stage, and their music repertory ranges from the Czech and German favorites to the latest Texas country music and contemporary hits. Their music can be heard on polka radio programs across the nation and have won numerous awards from the Texas Polka Music Association, and from 247PolkaHeaven.com.

Their latest album \"Shining Up Old Favorites,\" features 20 selections, 14 of which are newly recorded cuts plus 6 bonus cuts from The Dujka Brothers early cassettes dating back to 1991-1992.

Along with traditional tunes like Old Meadow Polka and Aj Ja Sam, the Dujka Brothers introduce a new waltz entitled \"You Are My Special One\". A poem written by a neighbor about his wife was the inspiration for the song composed by John Dujka. You\'ll hear hints of the Slovenian style, and a lovely melody sung as only the Dujka Brothers can.

Listen to a sample of the CD and you\'ll see why the Dujka Brothers signature style and musicality is so popular.
