The Krüger Brothers from Switzerland have been playing music professionally since 1971. Twenty years later, after playing together in various formations throughout Europe, the two brothers, Uwe (pronounced Oovay) on guitar, and Jens (pronounced Yenz) on banjo, teamed up with New York bassist Joel Landsberg who has become just like another brother. Krüger Brothers performances are exciting, calming, entertaining and spontaneous all-in-one, exhibiting their sheer joy in playing music. Although each of these musicians has earned credit for his instrumental skills individually, it's the interaction of the three together which makes their music special. Traditional American Folk and Bluegrass music would probably be the closest description of their style. Add to that their personal musical development along with their Classical music influences, and you have acoustic string music with a new rich flavor.
