Making their 11th appearance at Stowe's Oktoberfest are the KRAZY FIREMEN -- a nine piece band of versatile musicians. Best known for their authentic German Oktoberfest music, their range is from the "big band" sound of the ‘30's to the present, plus a collection of waltzes, polkas, marches, country-western and rock.

Hailing from Rochester, NY and formed in 1971, all of the original band members were also members of a local fire department -- that's how they came to be affectionately named the Krazy Firemen!

Listening and dancing to the music of the Krazy Firemen is an experience not soon forgotten!

Die Lustigen Almdudler -- a very energetic five-piece band -- returns again this year. Specializing in German/Austrian music, the group plays both traditional and modern songs. The band features a schuhplattling show, as well as various skits, cowbell ringing, and the very popular alphorn. The group is often asked where in Germany they're from -- a high compliment indeed!
