After the well-received, Fryderyk-nominated albums "Going Away" and "Czekanie", Kraków Street Band returns with a new, long-awaited album.

This material, like the band itself, is incredibly diverse in genre, full of musical and literary elegance, pulsating with dynamics, and brimming with unexpected twists. One can hear both rich instrumental splendor and intimate, minimalist compositions with almost whisper-like dynamics. The album resonates with urban folk, jazz, and blues, as well as stylish literary song rooted in the finest Krakow traditions.

You can buy the album directly from the band at shows or online from Polish Radio!

The album "Czekanie," the band's fourth, is undoubtedly their most eagerly anticipated release to date. After their well-received English-language albums, the musicians are opening a new chapter, both lyrically—all songs in Polish—and musically, moving even further toward stronger, electric sounds.

"Going Away" is Krakow Street Band's third album, based entirely on original material. It consists of 11 lively but unpretentious songs, neatly balancing between contemporary folk, jazz and blues. The beautiful acoustics of Radio Kraków's studio allowed to capture nuance in the music of this 9-piece ensemble, which has evolved quite a bit since their street beginnings.

The band was happy to accept the offer of recording an album, striving not only to honor the memory of Jerzy Wójcik, but also to show the phenomenon of Little Ole Opry to a wider audience. The musicians, along with featured guests, prepared new arrangments of the songs played by Little Ole Opry on the old record and on concerts. Both albums have a common denominator in the old banjo, which used to belong to Jerzy Wójcik, and 35 years later, it's alive again in the hands of Piotr Grząslewicz...
