Hello Music Lovers,
I am so glad that you've found the
Official Website of The Dick Tady Orchestra (DTO) and
hope that it brings you hours of enjoyment.
The Dick Tady Orchestra was founded
in the early 1960's and is "Still Going Strong" today
and are still playing, writing and recording great
sounding American-Slovenian Style polka and waltzes,
after 5 decades.
While their specialty is
American-Slovene style polka music, their love is MUSIC!
The DTO brings class and style to all facets of music.
From Big-Band, Oldies, Country, Pop and Rock the DTO is
well versed. They have such an incredible library
of music that they've actually played 3 day weekend
festivals and never played the same song twice during
that weekend! Now that's and incredible amount of
songs!
During their 5
decades together, they have played weddings,
anniversaries, picnics, parties, corporate parties,
conventions, Pittsburgh Steelers tailgate parties,
casinos, cruises, festivals, concerts, shows and for dignitaries
such as President
Milan Kučan (President of Slovenia). The DTO has performed,
not only in the Pittsburgh tri-state area, but across
the Continental United States, Canada, Hawaii, Canada
and the Caribbean!
During their 5 decades, the DTO has
gone on to be recognized in many award ceremonies,
including a Grammy Nomination in 1992 and Grammy Winner
Participants in 1993 on Walter Ostanek's album "Accordionally
Yours". They've also received 12 National
Cleveland-Style Polka Hall of Fame nominations,
resulting in 3 Crystal awards and Band Of The Year in
1995.
As you can see, the DTO believe in
being the best they can be in everything they do.
But, don't take my word for it...experience the DTO for
yourself. Browse this website and learn more about
The Dick Tady Orchestra. And, be sure to stop back
often, as this website will keep you up to date on the
DTO!
Sincerely
