Denton is home to one of the best music schools in America and is known for its critically acclaimed musical acts. It’s also a quirky place, so it’s no surprise that one of its most acclaimed and longest-enduring legacies performs polka fusion music. Brave Combo has oom-pah’d folks into a polka frenzy for 27 years, picking up two Grammy awards and an appearance on The Simpsons in the process. Their newest CD, Polka’s Revenge, rolls out with a release party at 10 p.m. Friday at Dan’s Silverleaf, 103 Industrial Drive in Denton. Admission is $10. Call 940-320-2000 or visit brave.com/bo.
