His orchestra is on the Top Ten List of the All-Time Grammy Awards, and has acquired more Grammy nominations than anyone in the history of musical polka awards. His band is arguably the most popular polka band. Jimmy Sturr's band has been voted the #1 polka band in America, and have their own TV show on the network, a network devoted to rural America. The band has reported in press releases that they have also appeared on Saturday Night Live, however this has proven to be untrue. Evidence of this is the List of Saturday Night Live hosts and musical guests, where they are conspicuously absent. When they are on a trip, the band rides in Jimmy’s forty-five foot customized tour bus. On their travels, they have been to the most prestigious venues in the world, including seven Sold Out concerts at Carnegie Hall and four Sold Out concerts at Lincoln Center in New York City and a sold out concert at The Palace of Culture in Warsaw, Poland.
