 Greg Caza, our star accordionist, is one of two original members of the band. He is from Afton, MN. and attended Stillwater Highschool. We call him 'squeezer' or 'hot fingers' due to his great ability to work the accordion as the backbone of the group! Greg sings lead along with making music on the squeezebox. Greg lives in InverGrove Heights, MN. with his wife Patty and is a top-notch mechanic at a local Chevy dealer.

 Dennis Grove is our super sax man. He has been making sweet music with the band on the sax for 20 years. Dennis has a long history in music. He was a member of a local group The Boys Three while attending Harding H.S. in St. Paul and was a state champion saxophonist as well. His group was very popular around the metro area and western Wisconsin. He plays a mean sax and his energy for putting on a great show is bar none! Dennis lives in St. Paul with his wife Nancy and is an I.T. executive.

 Steve Napp is our 'screamer' on the guitar and bass. He has been with the band for 7 years and brings a fresh dimension of energy thru his awesome guitar and bass work. His renditions of Clapton and Skinnerd on guitar are a mirror of the originals and allows our group to branch in to Classic Rock with a flair that a normal polka band could not do. Steve lives in Roseville, MN. with his wife Cari and is a network technician extraordinaire.

Dave Pawlik, our alternate guitarist and bass player, has played with the band for over 10 years. Dave actually started out in Blue Grass many years ago and moved on to our wide variety of music. His driving bass gives our polkas that much needed bottom end that makes them great for dancing. He also plays a solid six string and does super lead vocals on numerous songs. Dave lives in Cottage Grove, MN. with his wife Nancy and is the operations manager with a large Twin Cities electrical firm. |
