About Jordan Rody...

     The Jordan Rody Band delivers a high-energy, crowd-pleasing show, blending polkas, country, and classic rock from the '50s to the 2000s--ensuring there's something for everyone.  Whether it's an Oktoberfest celebration, a festival, or a private event, Jordan and his band bring unmatched energy and musicianship to every performance. 
 

Jordan's Musical Journey...
     Jordan's passion for music began at a young age, inspired by his grandfather, Mike Kushneryk.  A legend in the polka world, Mike was a founding member of the Grammy-nominated Western Senators and performed with bands like The Happy Roamin' Rangers and The Cotton Pickers.  It was Mike who gave Jordan his first accordion, spending countless hours teaching him the craft. Without that early mentorship, Jordan's success wouldn't have been possible.
