	Oregon Music Guide - Volume I, Number 1 - Brave Combo
		So, I think that, really, I would hope that what [Brave Combo is] about is having an open mind to any style of music and not deciding that one style is bad and the other is good.

		Combo will try the same approach when they play the Ridglea Theater in Fort Worth on March 30; an early show at 8:30 will be more family-oriented, then the second show, at 11 p.m., will see the band pull out all the stops for one of its polka-flavored rock shows.

		And yes, Brave Combo remains a band, despite all the achievements, whose music all but begs wider airing, even if they have succeeded in winning over the various, finicky, disparate factions of the polka world, garnered consistently high praise in the music press, and picked up new fans every time they've played.

		Brave Combo: Carl Finch (vocals, guitar, piano, accordion); Bubba Hernandez (vocals, tuba, bass), Jeffrey Barnes (guitar, saxophone, clarinet, flute, didjeridoo, background vocals), Mitch Marine (drums, washboard, background vocals).
		The dazzling combo comes out swinging with a thunderous cavalcade of drums in the opening of their high-octane take of "The Happy Wanderer." From there out they stick close to the heart of polkas, with a hora or a waltz thrown in here and there to spice up the pot.
		This is their first album with the sonic breadth to capture what they do without limitation or interference.
