"Eye On Polka", is the latest recording by DyVersaCo and according to the new CEO, Two-year old Christopher Ebel, the band "has exceeded all expectations." Never argue with a CEO, especially one that knows his stuff.

With 15 tracks of music and a bonus track interview with C. Ebel, this gathering of musicians continues to demonstrate a freshness and clarity in their arrangements and musical presentation. Each instrument performs perfectly in the mix, creating an expertly assembled product. Bringing together a variety of sounds and musical styles, they make them all fit together like a close-knit family.

Whether it be Lush's "Play Little Gypsy" waltz, Bill Munroe's "Blue Moon Over Kentucky with Lori Ebel on vocal, the Polish power of By My Cradle, or the "kickin" "Goosetown" polka, this new musical magazine gives the listener plenty of colorful layouts, masterful melodies and music-filled dynamics by DyVersaCo. Selecting a favorite on this one isn't an easy task unless you are a concertina connoisseur, and then you have to do replays of "Eyeballs and Shoestrings, a smooth, classic Minnesota style tune from the pen of Craig Ebel. Joining Craig and Lori is Denny Anderson on bass guitar, Chuck Burak on drums, Gary Jasicki on clarinet and sax. Dee Zee Productions did the recording with Dale Zuk at the board and them mixed and mastered by Peppermint with Gary Rhamy working his magic.
