Florian Chmielewski
Since 1882, the Midwest’s most well known entertainers,
the Chmielewski Family, have been synonymous with polka music. Over 100 years later and into six succeeding generations, the Chmielewski Family music has never stopped. In 1989, the “Chmielewski Family Funtime Band” swept the Minnesota Music Academy and for three consecutive years dominated by winning nine out of the eleven awards in the polka field. They produced over 1800 television shows broadcast throughout the U.S. and Canada.
