To honor the one-year anniversary of Li'l Wally's death, The Polkaholics are hosting a special FREE show.  Polka King Li'l Wally, who died on August 17 2006, was renowned for his special drumming and singing style.  He revolutionized polka in the 1950s and 1960s by slowing it down to a danceable tempo, which became known as the "Chicago Style" polka sound.  Though he retired to Florida in later years, The Polkaholics brought him back to Chicago for several memorable shows in the late 1990s and early 2000s.  Now, to honor his legacy and keep his music very much alive, The Polkaholics will play many of his songs on this one-year anniversary of his death.  Also, Li'l Wally memorabilia will be on display and raffled off to lucky attendees.
