βThe music they make is a tribute to the very idea that indeed America is a melting pot and the sounds that were birthed from the heartland find a universal touchstone.β β The Journal of Roots Music
The Kruger Brothers were born in Germany and raised in Switzerland. Uwe and Jens Kruger were immersed in music from an early age, inspired by legends like Chet Atkins and Doc Watson. After forming early bands and performing across Europe, they reunited in 1987 to create their signature fusion of bluegrass and European influences. With bassist Joel Landsberg joining in 1990, they became The Kruger Brothers and gained acclaim across Europe.
Their 1997 debut at MerleFest marked the start of a deep connection with U.S. audiences, leading them to relocate to North Carolina in 2003. Since then, theyβve released over 25 albums, performed worldwide, and collaborated with symphonies and celebrated musicians.
The Kruger Brothers are members of multiple music halls of fame and recipients of numerous awards, including the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass. Their virtuosic sound and heartfelt performances have made them a beloved fixture in American roots music.
