Since their genesis over 40 years ago, the Whitesidewalls Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue has been the Midwest’s ultimate 1950s and 1960s doo-wop and rock & roll show band, with a loyal fan base that continues to grow and show their support and love for The Whitesidewalls.
Featuring five singers playing multiple instruments, the tight harmonies and driving dance beat of the Whitesidewalls are the signature of the Rock ‘n Roll Revue.

It didn’t take Doctor Kielbasa long to establish a positive reputation for performing great polka music and providing fun at dances. Now in their 22nd year, it’s fair to say they have made their mark in polka history in Minnesota and the upper Midwest. The group started as a fun hobby shared among a group of friends and musicians who had played Polish-style polkas for years, but never played collectively together. The members of the band currently live in northern Minnesota and around the Twin Cities metro area. The question they hear the most is “So, which one of you is Doctor Kielbasa?” Well, the answer is that Doctor Kielbasa is no one person, it’s all of them. Collectively as musicians, they love to play the music that flows from deep inside them. The members of Doctor Kielbasa like to think of the group as bigger than any one person, it really is a collaborative effort. One of their fans described it best: “Doctor Kielbasa is the collective musical energy of a veteran group of Minnesota musicians. They are the best.” Wow, high praise indeed. Visit website
Craig Ebel plays concertina with DyVersaCo and is the band’s leader. Craig is also the host of “It’s Polka Time!” a syndicated radio show heard across the United States and over the Internet. His knowledge of the music makes him the perfect person to front the band. The musicians who make up DyVersaCo have quite the experience of performing in not only different types of music, but also in different styles of polka music. Polka music is just that – polka music!! Whether you listen to it on the radio or regularly go polka dancing, promote the music proudly and encourage others to do the same. Visit website
