Lenny Gomulka at age 5 took an immediate interest in polka music. He
especially liked the drums which he self-taught himself in spare time.
His formal training began at age 11 when inspired by his mother to take
trumpet instruction.
Before organizing his own polka band,
Lenny spent his years as a sideman. He performed with and/or recorded
with every top reigning polka band in Chicago during the past 24 years
with no exceptions. He attributes his drive, persistence and success to
the help of his brother Richie Gomulka, a former bandleader in the 60's
and 70's and guided Lenny in his early years.
To date, Lenny
Gomulka at age 36 accumulates 24 legitimate years of professional
musical experience. In this time he has recorded in excess of 50 long
playing record albums with over 25 different artists. Not only has he
recorded in the polka circle, but in the modern and Spanish fields as
well.
In addition he is a songwriter, arranger, composer,
vocalist, lyricist and disc jockey. His accomplishments began in early
years. He was 1st-place Winner on the Ron Terry Talent Show" formerly
aired in Chicago on WGN-TV Channel 9 back in 1963. He was lst Place
winner for 3 consecutive years in competition with the entire Catholic
Archdiocese - City of Chicago on both trumpet and clarinet. He was
awarded by the "Versatones Polka Fan Club of Chicago" for contributing
to the popularity of Eddie Blazonczyk's Versatones. He has been voted

by the membership of the United Polka Association International. In
addition to all of the above, his band Lenny Gomulka and the Chicago
