The POLKA FLOYD show is the latest project of native Detroiter and musician Ken Haas who lends his guitar and vocals to this unique band. Haas is a veteran of many bands including The Culture Bandits, The Hoolapoppers, Kids from Krypton and most recently plays in The Zimmerman Twins. This project came about unexpectedly after Ken and fellow Toledo musicians from the nationally renowned polka band Crusade got together to jam. Messing around with some Pink Floyd tunes, they added a polka twist to the classic rock songs and a new band was born. They played their first gig in their hometown to an enthusiastic sold out crowd.
