  • Kris & The Riverbend Dutchmen | G.L. Berg Entertainment

    Polka Kris & The Riverbend Dutchmen Polka Download Media Kit [object Object] Founded in 2009 by bandleader and concertina player Kris Keltgen, Kris and the Riverbend Dutchmen have become one of the Midwest’s premier old-time dance bands, carrying forward the rich Dutchmen tradition made famous by legendary groups such as the Six Fat Dutchmen, Whoopee John Wilfahrt, Babe Wagner, and the Rainbow Valley Dutchmen. Based in southern Minnesota, the Riverbend Dutchmen perform throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Upper Midwest, entertaining audiences at ballrooms, festivals, fairs, concert series, and community celebrations. Known for their powerful horn section, award-winning musicianship, and dance-driven sound, the band blends authentic Dutchmen-style polkas and waltzes with carefully selected old-time favorites that appeal to both longtime dancers and new generations of listeners. The band regularly performs as a seven-to-nine-piece ensemble and features an impressive roster of musicians, including three inductees of the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame. Their music has been featured on more than 200 radio programs throughout the United States and Canada and has been showcased on national television, including appearances on Mollie B Polka Party and numerous broadcasts of KEYC-TV’s long-running Bandwagon program. In 2025, Keltgen expanded his efforts to preserve and promote Midwestern musical heritage by directing the award-winning feature documentary Song & Dance , a film celebrating the people, places, and traditions that have kept old-time music alive for generations. The project has received international recognition and multiple film festival awards. The band’s newest release, Dutchmen on Parade , has been described as “The Album that Defines the Modern Dutchmen Sound,” showcasing beloved classics, newly preserved arrangements, and the musicianship that has made the Riverbend Dutchmen one of the region’s most respected dance bands. Whether performing for a ballroom filled with dancers, an Oktoberfest celebration, a county fair, a community festival, or a concert audience, Kris and the Riverbend Dutchmen deliver an authentic, energetic, and professional performance rooted in tradition and built for today’s audiences. >> Career Highlights Kris Keltgen has been performing old-time music since the age of four years old when he made regular appearances with his uncle’s band “Inside Straight” singing “Apples Peaches Pumpkin Pie” at local service clubs. Encouraged by his family, Kris began playing the drums and later took up the piano. Once out of high school, Kris began playing with “Double Shot”, and later the “Plum Krazy” band. At the age of 29, Kris began playing the concertina, an instrument Kris always appreciated and enjoyed. Practicing several hours a day, Kris became proficient at the concertina and formed the Riverbend Dutchmen after playing the concertina for only 2 years. Kris now plays the concertina exclusively in addition to singing with his own band. The Riverbend Dutchmen typically perform as a 5 or 6 piece band, but often perform as a 7 or 8 piece band for larger venues. This at a time when many of the larger bands are disappearing in favor of three or four piece bands. “I’ve always appreciated the versatility of a robust horn section”, says Kris. Other band members include Crystal Malek on drums, Mike Budin on tuba, Rick Keane, Myron Muehlbauer, Jens Jensen, Jerry Kahle, and Steve Moran rounding out the horn section. The late Dick Ginn, former host of the KEYC-TV Bandwagon program also played with the band until succumbing to cancer in April of 2013. “I’ve always been fortunate to have been surrounded by such talented musicians and mentors”, said Kris in a recent newspaper interview. The band’s schedule continues to get busier every year as the band becomes more and more popular. “Old time music is certainly not dead. It is good music and people continue to enjoy themselves”, says Kris while explaining the bands success and growing popularity. The band has been busy in the last couple years with performances that included numerous festivals across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. The band has made multiple appearances at the Minnesota State Fair and Clay County Iowa Fair in addition to many community celebrations and festivals. The band has had numerous nation-wide television appearances on the popular Mollie B Polka Party program on the RFD-TV network, appearances on KEYC-TV’s Bandwagon program, and numerous local broadcasts in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The band released its first album in 2012 entitled: “Smile”, and has just released their second album in 2014 entitled: “Partners, Brothers, and Friends”. In 2014, the band also released a DVD of the band’s performances. In addition to Kris on the concertina, the newest album also features Karl Hartwich and Mollie Busta, host of the popular Mollie B Polka Party on RFD-TV who performed with Kris on the album. Both albums are regularly featured on radio stations with old-time programming across the United States and Canada. >> Testimonials “They are a fabulous band, we are really excited to have them” – Kato Ballroom “The Entertainment Committee would like to extend its thanks and appreciation for your performance.

One of our biggest audiences to date." –Bemidji State University >> Basic Set-Up Needs In order to give you the best performance possible, Mind Games provides the following information as technical rider to its contract. An auditorium stage or an extremely STABLE riser (riser being as large as possible) to accommodate 20 chairs in a semicircle. RISER MUST BE FLUSH AGAINST A WALL FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PARTICIPANTS. Purchaser shall also arrange audience seating so that the front row chairs begin approximately six feet from the stage unless show is performed in an auditorium or gymnasium. An EXCELLENT sound system that provides outstanding sound on the STAGE AREA. THIS IS CRITICAL. Audience response drowns out most verbal communication between the hypnotist and the subjects. Please do not assume that the sound system is strong enough to overpower hundreds of people laughing. Volunteers must hear the hypnotist CLEARLY. Thus, SPEAKER MONITORS ON STAGE WHICH FACE THE VOLUNTEERS ARE A MUST. If your auditorium is not fitted for monitor hook-ups, please be inventive. Almost always, a portable system with large speakers placed BEHIND the volunteers (facing the audience) can out power in-house systems. They also double as EXCELLENT monitors. TWO microphones are to be provided (a handheld cordless with a spare battery is great if available) making sure the cords are long enough, able to reach all chairs on stage easily. The second microphone will be used as a back up. However, the XLR or cable to the amplifier will be used as a second input for background music and special effects. Good stage lighting is important. Most auditoriums have acceptable lighting but please ensure the lights are properly aimed (and not burned out) to flood approximately the first 20 feet of the stage area. If the show is located where built-in lighting is not available, any additional lighting to augment the stage area is STRONGLY suggested. This will increase response of volunteers and provide for a much better show. A darkened banquet hall for example with lights on tripods (easily rented) will create a much better "nightclub" atmosphere and make for a better show. >> Sample Introduction The following is a sample introduction you might use when introducing Mind Games to your audience: “The host of tonight’s show – Jared Sherlock – is an award-winning entertainer and certified hypnotherapist who has been featured in The Wallstreet Journal Online, the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom radio show, and Campus Activities Magazine’s “Top Acts” for 2013! He is currently performing at over 100 events a year nationwide and abroad and was most recently named the Minneapolis INDIE Performing Artist of the Year. Tonight he will blend his perfected art of modern stage hypnosis with comedy and friendly audience interaction. Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m proud to introduce your show today — MIND GAMES.” >> Pricing Information Pricing for each act varies depending on a number of factors including: location of the event; popularity of the date; routing for each act; type of event; single or multiple day performances; length of show, etc. To get a specific and accurate quote for your event please contact our office by completing the form below or calling (612) 361-6002.
