Yes! While polka music is their specialty, many polka bands for hire can play a mix of styles, including folk, waltz, and even polka-infused versions of popular songs. If you have specific requests, such as classic hits from famous polka bands like Frankie Yankovic or Myron Floren, be sure to discuss them with the band in advance. Whether you want traditional polka or something a little different, most bands will happily accommodate your song requests to keep the party rocking!
