Welcome To TheBuffaloTouch Web site

TheBuffaloTouch are one of the nation's premier polka bands featuring Ken Machelski, Mike Nowakowski, Rick Pijanowski, Gary Krew, Robin Pegg & Tadj

We'd like to thank everyone for their continuous support through this difficult year after suffering the loss of our dear friend, mentor and leader Jerry Darlak.

Jerry loved the band he created in 1995 and in his honor and memory, as were his wishes, we plan to continue performing and producing our style of Polkas music for your dancing and listening pleasure.

We all look forward to seeing everyone to share a laugh, tell a few stories, and entertain through 2011 and the years that may follow.

Please don't hesitate to check our website or call for our current listings of appearances.

Serdecznie dziekuje,
From all of us in TheBuffaloTouch
