The Kruger Brothers are a trio of musicians known for their bluegrass and new American folk music. Jens Kruger (banjo, harmony vocals), Uwe Kruger (guitar, lead and harmony vocals), and Joel Landsberg (bass, harmony vocals) have been performing together professionally since 1995. They 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. The trio has gained the attention of some of the musicians, including Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, Tut Taylor, and Bobby Hicks, that once served as models. Jens Kruger has been inducted into the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame, and the group has been recognized for their innovative and exploratory approach to music.
