Some big news in the polka world…
Many of y’all have taken note of Emily Kouwe’s recent absence from the polka band this summer. Her time off comes with good reasons. Emily and Jake are expecting!
We’re pretty darn excited about it, but wanted to keep it private for a while. Now, we wanted all of you to share in this exciting news!Emily is pregnant and the Kouwes are going to have a baby!
Wait? Want some other exciting news? … there are two of them. There are two babies in there. Twins. The Kouwe twins… it’s gonna be EPIC.
The band, minus Emily, will still be touring this fall and all that good stuff! We’ll keep ya posted and such. Emily is due in January…
Emily and me (Jake) really appreciate all you fans. A huge number of you have written in or asked in person concerning Emily’s well being and whereabouts. We are so fortunate to have all this joy and love in our lives from all you polka fans! Y’all are wonderful. This band, and its’ fans, are a huge part of our lives. The Chardon Polka Band isn’t just a job for us… it is part of who we are. We are excited to introduce our twins to this… and are psyched they will get to meet you and polka with you in the coming years!
