Steve's Brand New CD, Legacy, Is Here!
February 10, 2025
We've been talking and teasing for many months about a new CD release coming from Steve Meisner and the members of the Legacy Band. If you have been waiting, the wait is now over. Legacy, the brand new CD from Steve and the guys, was officially released at the Illinois Polkafest in Schaumburg, Illinois. This is a truly unique recording featuring sixteen polkas, waltzes, and a variety of selections spanning multiple genres. You'll hear Steve singing and playing along with the members of his band. You'll hear the Steve Meisner Legacy Band playing brand new songs and many Meisner arrangements. And you'll also hear Steve Meisner singing along with the Legacy Band. You can see the list of songs along with hearing several song samples and then order the brand new CD right now from the Merchandise Page. No longer have a CD player in your car or at home? Legacy is also available on a USB drive inside the jacket instead of the CD. Get either format or order both! Take a look right now and be among the first fans to get this brand new recording.

Work Being Completed On Brand New Meisner Music Release
November 22, 2024
You may have seen some rumors and video clips that hinted at the possibility of a new Meisner recording project being worked on. We are thrilled to say that those rumors have now been confirmed and it's official: A new recording is coming in early 2025 featuring never-released songs from Steve together with brand new material just recorded. Members of the Legacy Band have been hard at work recording songs to help augment some other tunes that Steve started working on more than a dozen years ago. Even more exciting, through the magic of technology, the guys were able to use Steve's vocal tracks from various performances to allow him to actually sing with The Legacy Band on several of the new songs! In all, Steve will play and/or sing on 10 of the 16 songs. And, yes, you'll hear him whistle and talk to his music lovers too. A couple brand new songs will be included featuring lyrics from Steve's brother, Dan, who wrote the words to many of Steve's songs. Although work on some of the songs is still underway, the plan and hope is to release this brand new CD at the 2025 Illinois Polkafest in Schaumburg, Illinois on February 7. Of course it will also be available to all of Steve's many music lover fans. Keep watching as more information is released..

THE STEVE MEISNER LEGACY LIVES ON
January 1, 2024
Life during the second half of 2023 was different and sometimes difficult without seeing Steve Meisner and hearing his music. Although we have already surpassed the 6 month mark since Steve's passing, in some ways it feels like it has only been a few weeks since we heard the tragic news. The members of Steve's band, along with help from other musicians and friends, realized their goal of fulfilling all of the performance dates that remained on Steve's schedule. With only a few exceptions, all of the fairs, festivals, Oktoberfests, weddings, parties, restaurants, and bars kept the Steve Meisner Legacy Band on their schedule so fans could enjoy the music as originally planned - just as Steve would have wanted. The epic celebration of Steve's life we all hoped for was realized on August 19 when some of the best polka musicians in the USA came to Milwaukee to perform at Meisnerfest. Barb Meisner along with her family continue to be very grateful for the outpouring of support from the many friends and fans. Only two events remain from Steve's original schedule on June 1st: The Sailaway Polka Cruise coming up in a few weeks and the Illinois Polkafest during the first weekend of February. Barb is excited to be attending both of them. Thankfully, Steve's legacy will not end in February as the Steve Meisner Legacy Band has agreed to book events throughout 2024. The schedule continues to take shape and will be detailed on Steve's website soon. While the number of performances will be a fraction of the yearly schedule Steve used to maintain, music lovers will still be able to enjoy some Meisner music played by the guys from his band. Keep an eye out right here and in Steve's newsletter as the schedule continues to build.
