About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

German Joe & BlackForestBlues are rolling out the barrel like it's the real-deal. Steins down, they're bringing the best Oktoberfest-Parties in and around NYC! The band has been performing for over six years weekly in midtown Manhattan at New York's premier Oktoberfest spot BierhausNYC, sponsored by the original Hofbraeu-brewery from Bavaria, Germany. Every night, Joe is taking full advantage of his German roots and heritage - born&raised in the BlackForest on bier & schnitzels - he has lived in Munich and is able to read and engage any crowd and room, and turn any venue into a German bierhall. As long as you don't run out of bier and your PA-system can handle it, you'll host an unforgettable party! Together with his unruly band BlackForestBlues, German Joe entertains an equally unruly crowd of bier & schnitzel lovers with his unique blend of German and American sing-and-stomp-alongs. When it's time for a polka, you better have your shot-ski ordered and your party-pants on...Prost! You can hire the standard quartet with guitar, bass, drums and vocals. And you can hire the quintet, adding accordion and/or saxophone, for the extra drive & flavor. The band needs to be served biers throughout its performance, to engage and inspire the crowd to more prost-ing, and to be able to serve as a role model in authentic oktoberfest-ing! "A very funny band!" the Dalai Lama "Even my wife drinks boots now." a Bierhaus regular "No band is funnest, but no band is funner either." another Bierhaus regular, probably a philosopher "Well, what can I say, I love to entertain." German Joe Stone

Oktoberfest PartyReviewed on September 30, 2019From Stone Ridge, NY

We were throwing our first Oktoberfest at Hasbrouck House in Stone Ridge, NY. We wanted tradition, but we also wanted a fun and engaging band to get our small crowd singing along. German Joe & Blackforest Blues really came through. They were funny, entertaining and provided our guests with a great time. Playing a mix of contemporary and authentic Oktoberfest music, we got the experience we were hoping for. Highly recommended and we can't wait to have them back next year.
