Billboard
The Tom Brusky Band is a versatile polka/variety ensemble comprised of talented, award-winning musicians. Their primary sound focuses on Slovenian and Cleveland-style polkas and waltzes, although when appropriate, they broaden their music sets to include popular standards, classic country, Latin-American, foxtrots, two-steps, swing, and Christmas holiday music... catering to several generations of music lovers. The band has amassed a staggering repertoire of over five hundred songs, all of which they play by ear.
Based in Milwaukee, Tom and the band play locally but also travel to wherever their music is desired. They've entertained crowds from ten to a thousand--from next door neighbors to U.S. presidents.
Because everyone's entertainment needs and budgets are different, Tom can tailor the size and volume of his band to suit any occasion. They will perform as a two- or three-piece combo for smaller or more intimate settings, and as a four- to six-piece band for festivals and other venues where the widest variety of music is desired.
Tom is a three-time Wisconsin Polka Hall of Fame award winner, having performed on over forty recordings worldwide.
