The Continentals
perform at many festivals, concerts and dances each year, from South Dakota to Florida, and many points in between. They have had the pleasure of hosting nine Caribbean cruises and producing eight recordings. Their music CDS have received airplay on over 400 radio stations across North America.

On May 14, 2007 the band marked its 35th Anniversary.

During their 20th Anniversary celebration, the group received a special Governor's Citation for over two decades of musical excellence.

In addition, bandleader Mike Surratt is also a recipient of the "Federal Republic of Germany Friendship Award."

With its distinctive "Continental" sound, the band certainly has carved its own niche in the polka world and continues to make new fans across the USA.
