Max Pollak was in town for the Twin Cities Tap Festival and stopped by Studio 101 last October. He shared stories of his life as a tap dancer, and also insights into Cuban music history, tap floor design tips, ideas on how to record body percussion. He even sheds some light on the nuances of the very rarely talked about “Austrian Clavé.”

“North 2nd Street” and “Xceler8" from the Bucket Drummin’ Volume 1 album by The Ausland Brothers is available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, or even as an autographed CD.
