Bob Doszak was one of the best-known Cleveland-Style Polka bandleaders in the Chicago
area. The Joliet native led his own orchestra at the age of fourteen and performed
on television. An expert accordionist, he shared the stage with stars like America’s
Polka King Frank Yankovic. Bob brought both his sons into the band and travelled
the Midwest and Western states with them. As host of the Illinois Polka Festival,
for 26 years, he drew dancers and music-lovers from around the country to Chicagoland
and often entertained polka talents in his home. In later years in Arizona, Bob shared
his love of the music of his Slovenian and Polish heritage and won over new fans.
