Joe Maloy . . . "Mr Oktoberfest"

Joe Maloy is now retired from his career work life and now devoting full time to his love of music and the accordion.  Although he found ways to be very close to full time musician while working during his busy life, he has managed to stay busy in the music field for over 50 years.

Mr Oktoberfest has a unique style of entertaining, as can be seen when he is on stage performing.  His enthusiasm is overwhelming and it is shared among the many fans who enjoy his diverse keyboard antics. 

July 3 thru July 6, 2008 will find Joe appearing at the Twin Lakes Park festival in Greensburg, Pennsylvania throughout the Fourth of July holidays.

This is one of Joe's favorite festivals as he has entertained there for well over 15 years and is a most familiar face at the celebration.  He will be leading the annual Teddy Bear Parade, entertaining the crowd at the Fiddler's Contest during intermission and most likely will be seen on stage with the Grkman Band at the Cabaret Stage.  This is when Grkmania and Joe let it all loose and the crowd gets into the music.  A standing ovation is normal with this show as seen in past years.
