Crockett, Texas—It’s that time again….polka polka polka!! The Piney Woods PolkaFest! with Brave Combo is this Saturday, September 13, at the Houston County airport.  Visit the oldest county in Texas this weekend for authentic German food & drink and dance to America’s favorite polka band, Brave Combo!! Presented by the Piney Woods Fine Arts Association, fun for all ages but kids under 18 get in FREE!!  Tickets are $22 in advance or $27 at-the-door and can be purchased online at pwfaa.org or by calling (936) 544-4276. Back due to the overwhelming response from last year’s festival.  This family-friendly event is a good time for all!

Brave Combo is a legendary polka band with a unique sound. They have been nominated for a Grammy award seven times and have won twice. Trying to describe Brave Combo’s music requires a pretty extensive vocabulary – at least when it comes to musical styles.  For the past three decades the Denton, Texas based quintet has perfected a world music mix that includes salsa, meringue, rock, cumbia, conjunto, polka, zydeco, classical, cha cha, the blues and more.  They are America’s Premier Dance band and a rollicking, rocking, rhythmic global journey — offering what one critic recently wrote, “Even if you come for the party, you’ll leave with something of a musical education.”

The Piney Woods PolkaFest!! with Brave Combo is funded in part by a grant from The Texas Commission on the Arts and sponsored by Cutshaw Chevrolet and Wal-Mart.

J. Bryan Lake, Executive Director of Piney Wood Fine Arts says, “Brave Combo is a band that rocks the brain and the feet. Ask anyone that was there last year…this is fun!!”

The Piney Woods PolkaFest!! with Brave Combo is at the Houston County airport on Hwy 7 just east of Crockett.  The doors will open at 6:30 pm. No outside food or drinks is allowed.  For more information go to pwfaa.org, follow us on Facebook or call the Piney Woods Fine Arts office Mon-Fri from 9:00-1:00 at (936) 544-4276.
