The Al Meixner Trio has
earned a reputation as one of the finest entertainment values in the
United States. These three musicians have the versatility to adapt
their repertoire to fit a wide range of audiences. Authentic vocals in
eleven languages and mastery of a multitude of instruments and styles
have been hallmarks of their successes at multicultural music
festivals, concert dates, German Oktoberfests, Slovenian-Croatian
dinner dances, polka festivals, private parties and syndicated TV
shows. Their high energy performances have become popular with
audiences of all ages because they transcend ethnic boundaries while
retaining cultural roots.
