ELLSWORTH, MAINE -- Lets meet at The Grand in Ellsworth for the Swiss bluegrass sensations, The Kruger Brothers! On Friday, August 1st at 8:00pm.

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.

"I haven't heard a set of music in many a day that I enjoyed more than I did the Kruger Brothers... As the old saying goes, I was in hog heaven" says bluegrass icon Doc Watson.

Come enjoy a night in the cool Grand Theatre on Main Street in Ellsworth. Tickets are $18.00 in advance and $20.00 at the door. Reserve your seats today, call The Grand at 866-363-9500 or buy online at www.grandonline.org.
