Jagermeister-sponsored, Fritz's Polka Band (FPB) was formed in 1978 by lead accordionist, Fred Scherz Sr., and his eight-year old son, Fritz, for whom the band was named.  FPB performs an eclectic mix of musical styles, including modern polka, country, fox-trot, waltz, 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.  FPB is the first polka band to perform at a Woodstock Festival!  FPB is also the first polka band to perform at B.B. King's Blues Club in New York City, as well as The China Club in New York City, and just recently, the Metropolitan Club in New York City!

FPB has performed on stage with "Canada's Polka King," Walter Ostanek (three-time Grammy winner), "America's Polka King," the late Frank Yankovic (Grammy winner), LynnMarie Rink (Grammy nominee), and Glen Burtnik.  Additionally, Fritz has performed on stage with Steve Augeri (former lead singer of Journey).
