St Joseph's Day Party - Detroit - March 19th

2009-03-10T11:24:00.000-07:00

Celebrate St Joseph's Day with the Kielbasa Kings! Thursday March 19th, 2009 at Baile Corcaigh. Polish Dinner will be on the menu for the evening. Polish Beer at the bar. Music by the Kielbasa Kings. No cover will be charged! That's a deal.

Baile Corcaigh is at 1426 Bagley in Detroit, Corner of Trumbull and Bagley, just south of the old Tiger Stadium. That's in Historic Corktown.

Our goal is to make St Joseph's Day as popular as that other saint's day, one establishment at a time. Tell your friends to start the weekend early and come wearing something red. In fact, tell all your friends named Joe or Josephine to come, too.

See you there. We'll be looking for you.

Thank you for coming out to see us at the Crofoot this past Saturday night. The temps were cold but the music was hot inside. We'd also like to thank Dave from the Polish Muslims for inviting us to play at the party. They are an awesome band! Stewart Francke was great, too. A lotta soul and an awesome groove. If you missed this party, you missed a good one. Yes, there was a huge Christmas Kielbasa wreath from the good folks at Kowalski.

Have a Merry Christmas, A Happy New Year. Be safe. Eat lotsa Kielbasa. I'll hoist a Jezynowka or two for you.

Finally blogging

Yup, now you can keep up with the Kings on a blog. Hopefully, you'll chime in. I'll be keeping things updated so you can be in the know. For the time being, it'll be sparse, but I'll get some pics and stuff up here for you to gawk at. More thoughts and updates will be forthcoming. Thank you for checking in.

Tom is BACK!

Thanks to your best wishes and prayers, our bass player and founding member Tom T-Bone Gyuran has fully recovered from his serious illness. He's itching to be back on stage and kicking out that big polka bottom like no one else can. He's grateful for everyone's support.
