Album Notes

The Little German Band and Dancers of Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, is an all-volunteer non-profit group dedicated to having fun while promoting Bavarian and German music and dance since 1971.

"Oktoberfest!" is our first attempt at downloadable music. It features three new recordings ("Radetzky March", "Helena Polka", and "Aunt Ella's Polka") as well as featured songs from three of our earlier CDs, "Wunderbar!", "Steinhenge", and "Eins... Zwei... Drei... PROST!".

The LGB&D consists of over 80 fully-costumed musicians and dancers. You'll see anywhere from 8 to 48 members at any performance. The group performs about 60 times per year at parties, arts festivals, schools, fund raisers, Oktoberfests, and more. You can see us perform in our home town of Raleigh, NC and all over the southeastern United States. The LGB&D has toured in several European countries such as Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, and Germany including a performance at the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany.
