Guy Klucevsek and Alex Meixner perform New-Polka in Brooklyn

Guy Klucevsek and Alex Meixner played a great concert at Barbes, Brooklyn on Friday night, August 21st. Half of the show they played together on many of Guy’s fast and furious compositional exponents of polkas and other such odd-meter dances. The other half of the show they played solo, Alex performing some of his favorite polkas and folk tunes from Eastern Europe. Guy played original compositions spanning his past 20 years as a performer. It seems like this might become a bigger thing for these two giants of accordion. Both originally from Pennsylvania, both with early traditions in polka and the like. If there’s Nuevo-Tango and New-Musette, is this New-Polka?
