Bill is the accordionist in the band as well as the manager. He started playing piano at age 6, but then switched to accordion a few years later. His other musical instrument abilities include button box and bass. Throughout his college years he was part of a performing ensemble known as the Duquesne University Tamburitzans, from which he gained experience with many different styles of music. After college, he and Nick started the band Gaudi Buam which would later become Mädel Jäger. Since 2009 when the band started, Bill has enjoyed the opportunity to perform on many different stages and entertain many people through Cleveland-style and Oberkrainer-style polka music. 

"The rhythm guy”, Nick Fejka has been a part of Mädel Jäger since it’s conception. His love of performing and the preservation of ethnic music and culture help him bring energy to the stage for every Mädel Jäger performance. Outside of performing with the band, Nick works in the digital communications profession as a graphics, photography and video specialist and is a self-proclaimed table tennis guru. Seeing that he also has a major passion for comedic acting, Nick likes to crack a few jokes here and there with unsuspecting audience members during Mädel Jäger shows. According to him, his most useful contribution on stage is how well his back side looks in his grade “Eh” Canadian lederhosen.
