Marty Sintic led one of the Cleveland area’s top polka bands in the 1970s and 1980s and continued to be in demand as an accordionist. Like many teens raised in the polka heyday following World War II, Marty picked up the accordion. His first band, the Polka Chips, was on local television and toured with TV host Gene Carroll. Marty performed with Polka Hall of Famers Dick Sodja, Dick Flaisman and Art Perko. The Marty Sintic Orchestra featured polka legends, such as Al Markic, Lefty Belle, Bill and Church Srnick, and cousin Jerry Jasinski. Marty often subbed at Frank Yankovic’s Steak House when the Polka King was on the road. Al Markic and Joe Godina produced Marty's 1971 album, "Project: Polka," for the Spotlight label. Marty's original songs include “One Wish,” a waltz recorded by many groups.
