Johnny Prytko is a native of New Britain, Connecticut where he developed his dexterity as an acordionist. The versatile band leader plays several instruments including the piano, baritone sax, and French horn. His interests in classical and modern music equal his love for Polish music.

Johnny Prytko is an originator. He created something new and dynamic for people of the polka world. As you listen to his recordings, you are not just hearing polkas, you are feeling the surge of liveliness, the "pizzazz" of a Johnny Prytko polka. Here is Polish music with gusto - a new and different style that opened the door to a new polka era.

Thanks to Bill from Wonderful World of Dancing for allowing me to link to his youtube collection of polka videos including these 1992 Prytko perfomances at Hunter Mountain.

Legendary Polka artist Johnny Prytko runs a European Folk Music/polkas show Saturday mornings from 6-9 am
