Plot Synopsis

POLKA KINGS is a half-hour reality series that follows The Chardon Polka Band, as they try to survive each other, keep their personal and professional lives from derailing their quest for stardom, and achieve their ultimate goal of headlining their dream event: Oktoberfest in Germany. The group is always finding themselves in crazy situations ranging from private parties in nursing homes, Ukrainian summer camps to the Duct Tape Festival in Avon, Ohio, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to make it big, even if it means playing polka versions of songs by artists including Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. Led by Jake, who's known for his stage presence, the band also includes: Emily (saxophone), the group's only female, who has dated Jake for years; Paul (tuba), the quietest member of the band; Mike (banjo), the group's self-proclaimed ladies' man; and Pops (drums), who does his best to provide the group with the sort of wisdom that only comes with age. Originally scheduled to premiere on Tuesday, January 6, 2015, POLKA KINGS debuted three months later on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at 9:30pm ET/10:30pmPT on ReelzChannel.
