What better way to get into the holiday spirit then to spend an evening listing to great music by well known Polish fiddler Brian Marshall and friends. Brian’s Kolendy in the Country Christmas Party was held at Second Fiddle Bar & Grill in beautiful Chappell Hill Texas on Saturday, December 6th. Second Fiddle is a small, friendly place housed in an old building not far from St. Stanislaus Catholic Church. The bar has lots of character and plenty of piwo. Daniel the chef served up bowls of good cajun etouffee as well as other spicy dishes and hamburgers and Mandy the barmaid kept busy handing out cold beer.
Brian was joined by Dennis Bielamowicz, Kevin Syzdek, Chuck Bolin, Sonny Janczak and Brian Wisnoski. James Mazurkiewicz also sang a song or two with the band. The band played lots of good Polish, country and Christmas music for the crowd. There was plenty of dancing, talking and laughing throughout the evening.
