The Kurland Agency is proud to welcome the KRUGER BROTHERS for all European bookings!
The Kruger Brothers are highly regarded within the world of acoustic music in North America, in particular by those within the industry. They have also gained the attention of some of the world’s greatest, including Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, Tut Taylor, and Bobby Hicks, that once served as models. Watson has said, “The Kruger Brothers are just about as fine a band as I’ve ever played with. … I love to play music with them.”
Originally from Switzerland, brothers Uwe and Jens Kruger began playing North American folk music at an early age and were particularly inspired by recordings of Doc Watson, Flatt and Scruggs, Bill Monroe, and other progenitors of country, bluegrass and folk music. Their first public performances were as a duo, busking on the streets of cities throughout eastern and Western Europe. After gaining a recording contract as well as a radio show SRG SSR, the Swiss public broadcaster, they teamed up with New York based bass player Joel Landsberg, inaugurating a trio that has been playing professionally together since 1995.
They are available as a trio, 7-piece with the Kontras Quartet, or for symphonic offerings.
