With new CD out, Krugers head to Europe
While the Kruger Brothers’ new CD, “The Suite,” is just reaching retail outlets, the brothers are on tour this month in their native Europe, including a couple of concerts in their Switzerland homeland. Some of the dates are already sold out.
The tour started last week and will wind down March 18 at Klub Mlejn in Prague in the Czech Republic.
After returning to their adopted country, they start a busy schedule March 29 with a Wild Bean Concert in Lewisburg, Va. They are in Northwilkesboro, N.C., March 30 at the Stone Center for a Wilkes Central High School Fundraiser for the science department. Doors open at 3 p.m.and the concert starts at 3:30.
After April gigs in Palm Beach, Fla., and Maryville, Tenn., the Krugers head to Silver Dollar City, the large theme park outside Branson, Mo., for several appearances at the Bluegrass & BBQ Festival. The Krugers will perform several shows a day from from May 17 to May 21.
The Kruger Brothers - “The Suite”Meanwhile, “The Suite,” released on the brothers’ own Double Time Music label, should attract new listeners into the bluegrass fold with its heavy touch of classical music. That stems from the brothers’ new project,”Music from the Spring: A Romantic Serenade for Banjo, Guitar, Bass & Orchestra.” It was pioneered by banjo player Jens Kruger and the Bangor, Maine, Symphony Orchestra. At the same time, the collaboration inspired a special outreach program that was developed for performances and presentations in schools and community settings, called “Strings Attached.”
The Krugers are promoting “Music from the Spring” with a special YouTube invitation geared toward promoters of symphony orchestras around the country.
