Tune of the Tuba: Tuba Dan Jerabek


Tuba Dan Jerabek started his polka affection at the age of 12, helping the Len-Ray Orchestra from Tisch Mills, Wisconsin. After several years with several notable bands, Tuba Dan formed his own eight-piece Bohemian-style orchestra. Eventually the band was down-sized to a six-piece band, one that eventually performed at the 1995 Folklife Festival in Washington D.C. and was extended an invitation by the Czech Republic to perform there each year on tour. Since then, the Tuba Dan Band has traveled many miles.
Tuba Dan Jerabek is also the President of The Wisconsin Polka Hall of Fame and is one of its most recent LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNERS. Come to the Midwest Folklife Festival, dance the polka and hear the Tuba Dan Band for yourself!
