With his 14 Grammy’s® and 18 consecutive nominations, Sturr has surpassed the likes of Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen—and he’s done it with Polka.

Despite polka’s reputation, Sturr comes to the genre’s defense, “Polka's taken a bad rap. Everybody thinks it's for your grandmother or your grandfather…but it's not like that. It's very updated. We've Americanized polka a lot.”
