Mike Surratt & the Continentals 40th Anniversary Celebration
On Sunday May 20, 2012, Mike Surratt will be performing with the
“Continentals” at Blob’s Park in Jessup, Maryland to celebrate his 40+
year musical career and the group’s 40th Anniversary. The event will
start at 3:30pm. For more information please visit Mike’s website:
http://www.mikesurratt.com or Blob’s Park at http://www.blobspark.net.
The Continentals of Washington, DC was formed in May 1972 and has been
under the leadership of Accordionist/Keyboardist Mike Surratt since
their humble beginning as a "German" Oom-Pah band. In their 39+ year
history the band increased their repertoire incorporating many
different ethnic styles of polka and waltz music, plus popular dance
hits from the 1940's thru today.
Many have tried to label this versatile group of musicians over the
years, but most have faced the music that they just have to expect the
unexpected at any given Continentals performance.
The Continentals certainly have created their own niche in the music
world and have performed throughout the USA at Festivals, Dances,
Concerts, Radio/TV, and on 9 Cruises to far away destinations. They
have also produced 9 recordings and received airplay on more than 400
terrestrial radio stations and countless plays on internet radio
broadcasts and websites.
Past achievements include a "Maryland Governor's Citation" presented
during their 20th Anniversary celebration and Mike Surratt is a
recipient of the "German-American Friendship Award" presented by the
Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Their most recent recognitions were 2010, 2009 & also a 2008
"Wammie" (Washington Area Music Association Award) nominations for
"Best World Music Group." They continue to make new fans wherever they
perform and are definitely...
"Saving the Old World - One Polka at a Time!"
