Good Bellows

The “Würst Band in Music City”?! That’s what you get when you combine the misfit instruments of the musical world … accordion, banjo, tuba, and clarinet. Throw in just enough saxophone, trumpet, percussion, Irish whistle, guitar, kazoo, recorder, drums, and vocals to make things interesting, and guess what you’ve got?! Four guys in leather shorts playing your favorite polkas and waltzes! Just for everyone’s sanity, they mix in a healthy dose of pop, standards, jazz, and country. Since they’ve gone that far, find out what the Beatles, Disney favorites, and Lady Gaga sound like played by a polka band! They may be the WÜRST, but you’ll have the BEST time being entertained by Good Bellows
