Kenny Konopka is currently on leave
from the network until November.

Kenny was born and raised in Wyandotte, MI and surrounded by polka music. His father, Mickey, was an original member of The Kavaliers, a local Michigan area polka band.

Kenny was a member of a local all accordion band called:  "Accordion's Internationale".

He began DJ'ing while in high school. A friend, Ron Toboy, introduced him to the polish dance scene and he was "hooked" on polka music. He added more polkas to his collection, and was dubbed the "Polka DJ".  He became an IJ (Internet Jockey) in February of 2000 with the debut of "Polka Cafe" which originally aired on www.247polkaheaven.com before coming here to the Polka Jammer Network on January 4, 2005. His show expanded to a 2-hour LIVE show on April 11, 2006.

During his IJ time, he was honored when Wally Dombrowski of PCM wrote and released his theme song:  "The Polka Cafe" on the CD recording:  "Bring Back The Good Times", released in 2002.
