Members of a popular Ohio polka band spotlight entertaining polka musicians, with each performance serving as a musical postcard from around the country. The Chardon Polka Band, known nationwide for its eclectic and modern take on an old genre, typically performs around 200 shows each year. However, the COVID-19 pandemic left the band members facing the same problem faced by musicians and artists nationwide: no gigs, no live audiences and limited ways to create and deliver their art. To both celebrate their genre and bring fellow musicians together, the group launched POLKA ACROSS AMERICA by leveraging their experience with music video production. The result is an hour-long documentary that provides the viewer with a delightful quilt of unique songs by unique artists.
