… with some terrific video of Yens on banjo, Uwe on guitar and Joel on bass. If you have never heard the KRUGER BROTHERS - I highly recommend catching one of their concerts, whether at a music festival or in performance with one of the numerous symphony orchestras playing Yen's original compositions.

Two years ago, Richard, Larry and I (Hal the NEVAH banjo guy) attended the first ever Kruger Brothers Academy. We had a blast … met terrific folks … learned a lot, played a lot of music and shared an amazing experience with everyone in attendance along with Joel, Uwe and Yens. When you visit the site … check it out.
