PINT SIZE POLKAS PERFORMANCES
This Saturday, May 4, join me for my first ever
appearance at the La Crosse County Library in Onalaska, WI
starting at 10 AM. I’m also looking forward to visiting the
Flagg-Rochelle Library again for my 11th straight year on
Friday, May 17 for a little pre-summer polka fun starting at
6:30 PM. Then before I hit the road for the summer, you can
catch my Pint Size Polkas show at Cutler Park in Waukesha
for another round of Pizza, Polkas and Preschool Art in the
Park. May is going to be an awesome month!
Then the day after Memorial Day, for the third year in a row
I’ll be kicking off my summer touring season for Pint Size
Polkas in Tulsa, OK for their wonderful City-County library
system. I’ve really enjoyed the three summers I’ve spent
there since 2014 and am looking forward to returning again
later next month! In June I’ll be back in TX, and then
making my first official appearances in Alabama and Florida
the week of June 10 before heading to Georgia for a return
visit the week of June 17. I’ll round out the month with
performances in IA, IL, and WI, including six shows at
Summerfest June 28-30. This will mark our 10th straight year
performing on the Kids Stage there and we can’t wait – hope
you’ll come and help us celebrate! Stay tuned for news on my
crazy travel schedule in July with June’s newsletter. In the
meantime, be sure to visit the Events page at

summer.
THE MIKE SCHNEIDER BAND UP COMING
PERFORMANCES
The Milwaukee Moose Lodge and Old German Beer Hall have
become two staples in my schedule. I appear at both venues
on almost a monthly basis. In May, join me for a solo
afternoon event at the Moose on Thursday, May 16 starting at
12:30 PM. Then on Friday, May 18, the band and I will be
back at the Old German Beer Hall starting at 8:30 PM.
Whether you’re looking to dance, take in an authentic
Milwaukee experience, or just enjoy some good music, food
and fun, these two venues have all your musical needs
covered!
The summer Biergarten season also begins later next month
with my first solo appearance of the year at the Biergarten
at Olbrich Park in Madison on Saturday, May 25 starting at 4
PM. It’s located along the shores of beautiful Lake Monona,
and is easily one of the nicest, most family-friendly (they
have games and even sandboxes for the kids!) Biergarten
atmospheres you’ll ever want to experience.
In June we’re looking forward to returning to Luther
Memorial Chapel on Sunday, June 23 for their annual family
picnic, which we’re had the pleasure of being part of now
for the last five years or so. And after a year hiatus,
we’re looking forward to taking the stage again at Veterans’
Memorial Park in West Allis on Thursday, June 27 starting at
7 PM. For details on all up coming Mike Schneider Band
Events, please be sure to visit the
Schedule page.
CHRISTMAS RECORDING UPDATE
I’m very happy to report that I’m continuing to make good
progress on my upcoming Christmas CD. I’ve finished writing
and recording the main parts for nine songs, and hope to
have a tenth in a similar state of completion by the end of
this week. My goal is to have all my lead parts done before
the summer, and then get working on my second accordion
parts as well as the parts other musicians will be playing
when I get back early this Fall. Quick work unfortunately is
not one of my strong suits, but I hope to make up for that
in the quality department. I love the Christmas Season, and
hope that joy comes through the music! Stay tuned for more
details as they become available.
