Musician of Folk and World
A.k.a. Stevan Zerbes
Yugoslav-American violinist, a.k.a. Steve or Stevo Zerbes or Стеван Зербес (May 22, 1891-before 1928). Born in Belovar, Croatia (then part of Austria-Hungary) as the son of George and Dora Zerbes, Zerbes worked as a professional musician in Detroit, Michigan, where he married his wife, Agnes, née Wisniewska, in 1911. Between 1916-1921, they are listed in Youngstown, Ohio; in 1917 he briefly lives in Akron, Ohio. By 1928, his wife appears in the Detroit address book as a widow. Zerbes headed the Royal Serbian Tamburitza Orchestra. This ensemble made numerous recordings between 1918-1919 for Columbia (also as Stevan Zerbec Sa Svojm Tamburaskom Drustvo "Balkan", Стеван Зербес и Тамбурашко друштво Балкан, and under pseudonyms such as Gypsy Orchestra), Victor (as Tamburăsko Društvo), and Emerson Records (2) (as The Royal Serbian Orchestra). Zerbes' violin playing impressed fellow tamburaš Djoko Dokich so much that he persuaded his son Milovan a.k.a. Melvin Dokich to take up the violin.
