"Reflections" and "Hey!" further highlight their commitment to evolving their sound and engaging with a wide audience. Their devotion to a high-energy performance style and diverse musical influences is also evident in their albums "FPB On Tap" and the internationally inspired "A Taste of Switzerland," the latter underlining their ability to appeal to fans across cultures. With decades in the music industry, Fritz's Polka Band has not just entertained fans of traditional polka but also carved out a niche that has attracted listeners from all walks of life.
