Live Music
Neue Polka
Neue Polka Colorado is a Polka Band that not only performs traditional polka music, but also takes pop/rock hits and fuses them into a polka style to bring entertainment to Oktoberfests events across the front range of Colorado (and on occasion the surrounding states too!) Since 2015 the Neue Polka brass band brings a new twist to the traditional polka style that will get you up and on the dancefloor.
The Polkanauts
Get ready for polka like you’ve never heard it before! The Polkanauts are a Denver-based band bringing their own high-energy blend of traditional polka, rock, metal, punk and surf music to the stage. Playing together since 2007, they’ve performed more than 200 shows across the country and have become Oktoberfest favorites at events in Denver, Vail, Breckenridge and now they are coming to Glenwood Springs!.
