Overview
Off The Grid Band is a diverse versatile three piece, audience interactive band that plays fun, happy foot stomping, dance music. We are a German/Czech polka band than can easily transform into Classic Country, Classic Rock, Cajun/Zydeco, or Irish group all within the same musical set, that's why we are called "Off The Grid". We are looking to play festivals, private parties, corporate functions, and other events in Texas and beyond. We have just recorded a 9 song demo CD that is getting airplay on 23 radio stations throughout the Mid-West and Texas. We have played Oktoberfest in Addison Texas 2016, and 2017, Fort Worth, 2015, 2016,& 2017, Fredericksburg 2015, 2016, 2017 and F1 race 2015.

Off the Grid was a great band for us. They were funny and entertaining. They played outdoors even though it was really cold. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great band for their event.

Thanks for the review, we had a fantastic time , really enjoyed the interaction with you your family and friends. You all were great hosts. Let’s do it again sometime, come see us when we are in the area.
We were absolutely amazed at the fabulous music that the three piece Polka Band, Off the Grid, were able to play. Once they started playing, our residents left the cool indoors to listen to some hot Polkas. Not only were they entertaining, but they were true musicians as well. The audience started asking for requests. Imagine our delight when "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones was set to a polka beat! Not only that, but the requests kept coming and they kept up, playing the classic rock hits in true rock fashion. The evening turned into a Rock and Roll Sing-a Long!
The day after the party, we heard everyone buzzing about the BEST party we have hosted EVER!
Thank you so much Off the Grid. And we'll be booking you again for our Octoberfest 2025.

Thanks you so much for the kind words. Your party was a blast for us to play for. We enjoy engaging the audience into the music. You would not think that three old guys in lederhosen would play the variety of music styles that we play in our sets. We look forward to playing future events for your residents. Come see us at Wurstfest in New Braunfels.
Our family hired off the grid band to play for our matriarch 90th birthday party in Austin. She’s German and they nailed it! They had everyone moving and dancing and laughing, and I have gotten nothing but positive comments from all of our family in the days since Highly recommend . Versatile music! Lively and fun!

Thank you Cynthia, you guys put on a fantastic event, thank you for having us be a part of it.
Off The Grid played outstanding music at our Oktoberfest. Everyone loved the music and it kept us on our feet.
They used a variety of instruments to add to their performance and it sounded like they had more people playing with them than just the three. Great job guys!

Off the Grid band did an OUTSTANDING job at our event. They clearly know how to play to a crowd and had our group up and dancing, laughing, and enjoying the evening. Impeccable showmanship and kind to the core. I would recommend them for anyone looking for a great band for their event!

Shared it was a surprise for my office. Showing up two hours early killed the element of surprise. The music was loud even though I told them it was a corporate event. At the end they had trouble with the elevators and caused a huge scene. They were ringing the fire bell in the elevator even though I told them I was on the way to get them which rang throughout my 8 floor corporate office. They yelled and me and said “bring me some beer” while they waited in the elevator. When they didn’t follow instructions to return to the correct floor they started yelled in the corporate lobby for all to hear. When I brought this to their attention how unprofessional they were they continued to make excuses. I told them there is nothing more to say but to let them know how unprofessional their behavior was. It’s my place of work with other tenants in this beautiful office in San Antonio. I would never recommend this band.
I posted a photo. The two guys who caused a scene were the accordion player and the one to the right. The guy with the guitar was kind and said their behaviors are not a reflection of him.
You can't do better. Hire this man. He will not let you down!
