Polka band performing for Thanksgiving By Debra Kelly
COURIER CORRESPONDENT
On Saturday, Nov. 22, there’s undoubtedly going to be a lot of people doing their Thanksgiving shopping at the Broadway Market. Those that stop by are going to be in for a treat, as they’ll have their shopping serenaded by the New Direction Band between noon and 3 p.m. Band members Ron Urbanczyk, Jim Raczkowski, Bob Krupka, Frank Zeczak and Gene Rzeznik will be taking the stage with their trademark Chicago Style polkas. The difference, explains
Urbanczyk, is that their style of polka relies on a heavy snare drum beat along with a Chemnitzer concertina, clarinet, sax and bass. Missing is the piano-style accordion that most other polka bands in the area use, giving them a unique sound like the one first popularized in Chicago in the 1950s. “Our style of polka is a little slower than the Eastern and Push styles,” said Urbanczyk. “It’s sometimes more appealing to polka dancers.” The New Direction Band has been performing together for five years, after four of the current members left the defunct City
Side Band to reorganize into their current group. In the time they’ve been together, they’ve already recorded and released two CD’s, with a third one on the way. Follow Directions and Clear Directions can be ordered through their web site, with Good Directions soon to follow. The new CD will have a handful of original music on it, all in the spirit of the music that they love. Combined, the band members boast a staggering 250 years of experience when it comes to
