Perfect!

Jimmy provided great entertainment for my Mom's 100th birthday party. He was personable and played a continuous array of music from oldies to present day. I would happily ask Jimmy to play at another event!

About

Born in Fontana, California, Jimmy Horzen began his musical journey with accordion lessons at the age of six. Jimmy's Slovenian roots and encouragement from his parents created the foundation for a lifetime of music. Two years after his first lesson, the 8-year old Horzen made his television debut - with America's Polka King, Frank Yankovic. Through the years Jimmy has entertained at every conceivable venue: from small clubs to weddings to national conventions...from Oktoberfests to polka festivals to Norwegian Cruise Line to the House of Blues. He worked as a full-time staff musician 19 years at EPCOT's German Pavilion in Orlando, Florida. He currently performs Friday through Sunday at Hollerbach's German Restaurant in Sanford, Florida. Jimmy performs as a one-man band or with larger ensembles (duo, trio, band) as needed.

Additional booking notes

Jimmy can perform acoustically with only the accordion or as a one-man band with microphone, electronic bass, drum machine, and sound system.
