We are a high energy polka band based out of Fremont, Nebraska. We will entertain you with some traditional Polka's and Waltz's, along with some Oktoberfest party songs and more. One of our specialties is playing and singing a variety of languages from German, Czech, Dutch, French, Russian and a touch of Japanese. We enjoy playing for any occasion and have had the privilege of traveling across the country to Texas, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Iowa. We are proud to say that we play at some of the largest Oktoberfest venues in the country.
The Happy Players... Founded 2014... It all started with a 2013 Christmas gift and the "Beer Barrel Polka" on a cell phone...(The Happy Players). This group of young energetic musicians started when Jameson brought his new accordion to the Middle School to show his band director, who had a love for Polka. He saw the potential and put this group together. They soon won the hearts of many in the area.
The group consisted of: Turner Blick - Drums, and Vocals; Jackson Brettmann - Trumpet, Keyboard, and Guitar; Jameson Brettmann - Accordion, Trombone, and Vocals and Luke Eisenmenger - Tuba, and Bass guitar.
In 2023 Jackson Brettmann left the group. We thank him for sharing his musical talents with us for 9 years. We have since replaced him with our fantastic Trumpet player, Stephen Vala.
