Davis Odd Fellows Thursday Live! with Mitch Polzak

Thursday Live! is a monthly series of live music. Our shows are donation only. The Odd Fellows Hall is located at 415 2^nd St. in downtown Davis. Your generous donations at the door all go to the musicians. Our bar will be open. Mitch Polzak is a musician, guitarist, banjoist, singer, songwriter, and teacher. The 6’5” performer wears his heart on his sleeve and his playing from his heart. Polzak performs rockabilly and 60’s country music with the religious fervor of Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash and delivers a Honky Tonk ballad with the sincerity of Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings.

Mitch will bring a room to a fevered pitch of joyous energy on the dance floor and then tell you a story in a song like two old friends sitting at a kitchen table at midnight. Polzak learned firsthand from some of his musical influences, sharing the stage with legends like Don Maddox of The Maddox Bros. and Rose, deeply respected contemporary and friend Deke Dickerson, The Ragin’ Cajun Doug Kershaw, Rockabilly icons Joe Clay and Gene Summers, former Bluegrass Boy and West Coast music pioneer Peter Rowan and Cajun greats Jimmy Breaux, Andrew Carriere, and Blake Miller.
