The Kruger brothers

The Kruger Brothers, Jens and Uwe, were born in Switzerland.  They now live in Wilkesboro, which is located the next county over from Ashe.  They have played all over the world and are famous for their banjo and guitar playing.  They write their own music, which is a combination of blue grass, gospel and country.

We got to see them last night at the local Civic Center.  It was their premier performance of their new musical work, An Appalachian Concerto.  They got together with The Green Mountain Chamber Players, who are affiliated with University of North Carolina.




I made a short video of their concert but I can not get it to upload, so I went on youtube and found this:
Hope you enjoy it.
