The Kruger Brothers
Americana Masters
The Kruger Brothers
Americana Masters
The Kruger Brothers’ remarkable discipline, creativity and their ability to infuse classical music into folk music has resulted in a unique sound that has made them a fixture within the world of acoustic music. The honesty of their writing has since become a hallmark of the trio’s work. In their ever-expanding body of work – Jens Kruger (banjo and vocals), Uwe Kruger (guitar and lead vocals), and Joel Landsberg (bass and vocals) – The Kruger Brothers personify the spirit of exploration and innovation that forms the core of the American musical tradition, including bluegrass, Americana, and classical music genres. Their original music is crafted around their discerning taste, and the result is unpretentious, cultivated, and delightfully fresh. Jens is a member of the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame, having been inducted in 2011. In 2013, he was awarded the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass Music.

Che Apalache
Grammy Nominated Latin Grass
Che Apalache
Grammy Nominated Latin Grass
**Che Apalache is nominated for 2020 Best Folk Album by the Recording Academy/GRAMMYs!
Che Apalache is a four-man string band based in Buenos Aires with members from Argentina, Mexico and the United States making huge waves in the roots music scene. The group’s founder is Joe Troop (fiddle), a North Carolinian multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and composer who moved to Argentina in 2010. While patiently carving out a niche in the local music scene, Joe taught bluegrass and old-time music for a living. That’s how he met Pau Barjau (banjo), Franco Martino (guitar) and Martin Bobrik (mandolin), his most dedicated students. They quickly became picking buddies and in 2013 decided to hit the stage. Che Apalache began as a bluegrass band, but eventually incorporated Latin American styles into their repetoire. Combining instrumental prowess with tight vocal harmonies, they have created an authentic blend of genres to reflect the nature of their lives. Evoking images from Appalachia to the Andes, their debut album, Latingrass, is a testament to a powerful cultural and musical exchange. The band's newest album, Rearrange My Heart, is produced by Béla Fleck and has received great acclaim from Rolling Stone Magazine, Billboard, and Bluegrass Today, among others.
