What:

Big Lou, the accordion princess, came early to polka and stayed late. She has played in Polkacide and founded Those Darn Accordions. Big Lou began playing in the honky tonks of Central Texas, eventually finding her way to the Bay Area where she currently resides.

When Big Lou recorded Polka Casserole as a one-time-only project, it turned out to be so much fun making the first record that she decided to keep the band going. They adopted the album title as their name and the rest is history. They play polkas of the world in a style unlike anyone else's. The band members -- between the six of them -- have played blues, jazz, country/western, rock, and just about any other style you can think of. They bring all of this diverse music to the polka table.
