Milwaukee’s Polka Queen, Barbara Lane, has led Cleveland-style polka bands for more
than 25 years. Barbara became hooked on polkas as a youngster, listening to Fritz
the plumber and watching Myron Floren with Lawrence Welk. She formed her first band,
the Bee Jays, at age 14. Barbara and the Karousels spread their fame across Wisconsin
with regular performances on radio and television, plus nine albums featuring some
of her original compositions. The Polka Mass is the band’s newest specialty. Along
with her husband, Noyes, Barbara has been a tireless promoter of Cleveland-style
polkas, bringing busloads of fans to Cleveland and other polka centers since the
1970s.
