Joe Czerniak

Duluth concertina player Joe Czerniak has been playing since he was eight years old. At 12, he started playing out as a solo act. As an adult, Czerniak often played with his son, Bill, and other relatives. As the son of Polish immigrants, Czerniak played many Polish polkas on his 104-key concertina.
