Eddie Adamic took inspiration from the pioneers of the Slovenian-style sound to lead
the Detroit-Windsor area's top Cleveland-Style polka band. Eddie learned Slovenian
folk music from his parents and was performing by age 14 in and around Windsor, Ontario.
He organized his own orchestra at the peak of the polka heyday in 1952. He took a
break from band-leading in 1965 to perform with Ronnie Dodich and Dennis Tatomir.
Eddie started up again in 1975 and went on to appear on radio and television, perform
in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Canada, and host polka tours to Slovenia, the Caribbean,
Hawaii and Spain. Five recordings capture Eddie Adamic's old-country polka classics,
especially his 1981 album with the Klancnik Brothers.
