SUMMARY:Left of the Dial presents: Mitch Polzak Live
DESCRIPTION:The big guy from out West with larger than life energy (he’s also 6’5’\, the great grandson of August Ringling of the Ringling Bros Circus and related to Ma Barker of the infamous Barker Gang)\, guitarist\, singer\, banjoist\, songwriter\, composer\, entertainer\, musical historian and teacher\, Mitch Polzak wears his heart on his sleeve and his playing in his heart. Mitch was inducted into The Western Swing Hall Of Fame in 2024 and has been twice nominated for The Ameripolitan Music Awards. \nPolzak performs Rockabilly\, Honky Tonk\, Surf\, Bluegrass\, Western Swing\, and Cajun music stateside and abroad. Mitch performs with the religious fervor of Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash\, and delivers a Honky Tonk ballad with the sincerity of Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings. Polzak will bring a room to a fevered pitch of joyous energy on the dance floor and then tell you a story in a song like two old friends sitting at a kitchen table at midnight. \nHe has released 8 albums\, 5 on his own label Polzak Productions and 3 on the Spanish based Sleazy Records. \n  \n
