𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗥𝗨𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗦:
The Krüger Brothers are known for their long association with MerleFest, where they first played in 1977, and have appeared every year since. After touring extensively in the U.S. for several years, brothers Jens and Uwe Krüger along with bassist Joel Landsberg made the decision to move from Switzerland to Wilkesboro, N.C. in 2002. They have since earned widespread acclaim and developed a devoted following for their innovative fusion of bluegrass, folk, and classical music.
The Krüger Brothers’ remarkable discipline, creativity, and ability to infuse classical music into folk music has resulted in a unique sound that has made them a fixture within the world of acoustic music and one of North Carolina’s most popular roots music groups.
Inspired by artists as musically diverse as Doc Watson, Eric Clapton, and Beethoven, The Krüger Brothers’ music epitomizes the spirit of exploration that forms the core of the American musical tradition.
In their ever-expanding body of work, the Kruger Brothers – Jens Kruger (banjo and vocals), Uwe Kruger (guitar and lead vocals), Joel Landsberg (bass and vocals), and Jonah Horton (mandolin) – personify the spirit of exploration and innovation that forms the core of the American musical tradition.
The Krüger Brothers are members of the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame, the Wilkes County Hall of Fame, the International Banjo Hall of Fame, as well as the American Folk Music Hall of Fame. Jens is a recipient of the Steve Martin Prize for excellence in banjo and bluegrass, and the band has received several IBMA nominations.
