Beaver Falls library party offers a polka fusion twist

Beaver County Radio

BEAVER FALLS — The Carnegie Free Library of Beaver Falls hosts polka fusion sensations the Polkamaniacs on March 21.

Attendees can expect a lively night of music and fun with The Polkamaniacs — a Pittsburgh musical group known for turning every performance into an unforgettable party. The Polkamaniacs bring a high-energy, “plaid-tastic” sound, which
blends traditional polka with roots rock, Americana, classic punk and touches
of vaudeville flair.

The Polkamaniacs have a date in Beaver Falls, at the Carnegie Free Library.

This isn’t your grandparents’ polka band — though they do play polka classics. The
Polkamaniacs take the oom-pah tradition and fuse it with modern energy, playful
audience interaction and plenty of toe-tapping beats. Their eight-piece ensemble
features instruments like accordion, guitars, banjo, trumpet, trombone, bass and
drums, creating a fun and danceable experience that appeals to all ages.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the fundraising performance begins at 7 p.m.

Real Nutz Vodka also will be on site, offering a signature cocktail for sale, as well as bottles of locally-made vodka for purchase.

Complimentary snacks and drinks will also be available.

Tickets are on sale now at cflbf.org for $25.

Proceeds will go towards renovations at Beaver Falls’ 123-year-old library, such as the temporary removal, cleaning and strengthening of the stained glass windows.
