It’s never too early to celebrate Oktoberfest, So the Pogo brothers had a hit on their hands on the weekend in Festival Square and their usual visit from familiar Oktoberfest faces oom pah pah band Alpen Schatz.
On Friday they provided the soundtrack for a fun evening filled with German craft beer, pretzels and German food.
They played a fun set of jazz, horn filled German tunes and put their own Oktoberfest stamp on old songs like “ Sloop John B.”
A highlight was a jazzy version of “ You Ain’t Nothing but A Hound Dog.” for which they tried to get the audience
howling like hound dogs.
