“The Kruger Brothers’ dedication to Americana music is sincere and profound.”
- The Journal Of American Roots Music
Born and raised in Europe, brothers Jens and Uwe Kruger started singing
and playing instruments at a very young age. They were performing regularly by the time they were eleven and twelve years old, and began their
professional career in 1979. Several years later, the brothers teamed up
with bass player Joel Landsberg, a native of New York City who also had a
very extensive musical upbringing in classical and jazz music (studying
with jazz great Milt Hinton), thus forming a trio that has been playing
professionally together since 1995. Together, they established the incomparable sound that The Kruger Brothers are known for today. Since their
formal introduction to American audiences in 1997, their remarkable
discipline, creativity and their ability to infuse classical music into folk
music has resulted in a unique sound that has made The Kruger Brothers a
fixture within the world of acoustic music. The honesty of their writing has
since become a hallmark of the trio’s work.
“Anyone who loves great music across any genre will be taken by this collaboration.”
- Christopher James Lees, Assistant Conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
