The Contenders:

- Polka Freak Out, Bubba Hernandez & Alex Meixner
- Dueling Polkas, Walter Ostanek and His Band & Brian Sklar and the Western Senators
- Come Share the Wine, Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra
Our Prediction: Brave Combo
Oh, we know what you're thinking: Jimmy Sturr owns this category. The man is the Lord High Emperor of Polka, having notched up more Grammy wins in this category than anyone ever. So, it would take a brave combo to succeed in challenging—which is why we think Brave Combo will take it this year. They're plucky and have a secret weapon going for them: The last time someone other than Jimmy Sturr won a polka Grammy...it went to them.
Your Prediction? What do you think? Is Sturr simply the kingpin? Can Gora & Gorale bring serious new heat? Sound off in Comments!
