Krugers featured for 84th Year of Fiddlin' in Union Grove

Union Grove, NC: In 1924, H. P. Van Hoy, a school teacher and a fiddler, thought of a good way to raise money for Union Grove School; he would hold a fiddler's convention. The convention became a tradition, carried on in recent years by Harper A. Van Hoy, H. P. Van Hoy's son. On May 23-25, 2008, the third generation of Van Hoy descendants will open the gate for the 84th iteration of that acclaimed musical institution: a weekend of competitions, performances by invited musicians, workshops, jamming, and the renewal of years-long friendships. This is the oldest fiddler's contest in North America, acclaimed a Local Legacy by the Library of Congress, an icon of the genre, and not to be missed. Details are available at www.fiddlersgrove.com.

Kruger Brothers bring Americana sounds to the Palace

By Steve Wildsmith
of The Daily Times Staff

As the unofficial third Kruger Brother, bass player Joel Landsberg had a ringside seat to his bandmates' first exposure to America when Uwe and Jens Kruger came here in 1997.

You'd think that two Swiss guys in America for the first time would provide plenty of humor for a native New Yorker. As The Kruger Brothers built an American following and made their way across the country, however, a curious thing happened - Landsberg found that the biggest adjustment to be made was within himself.

Music from the Spring

During 2006 and early 2007, in collaboration with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, Jens Kruger worked to orchestrate his original compositions as well as music from the Kruger Brothers. Excerpts from this concert program were performed for the first time with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra for audiences at the Kingfield POPS and Camden POPS performances during the summer of 2006, a prelude to the world premiere of Music from the Spring: A Romantic Serenade for Banjo, Guitar, Bass & Orchestra. At the same time, the collaboration inspired a very special outreach program that was developed for performances and presentations in schools and community settings, called "Strings Attached."
