bagochips Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 The Kruger Brothers are coming back to town.Friday, August 10th. Doors 7:30, show 8pm. Academic Hall, Ottawa U.I saw these gentlemen at Mavericks last year and they play sweet sweet bluegrass. They are the real deal and well worth the $15 cover."I haven't heard a set of music in many a day that I enjoyed more than Idid the Kruger Brothers. That was...oh man....! As the saying goes, Iwas in hog heaven (laughs). The way they used Frosty Morn and CuckooBird and Twin Sisters that old banjo tune, the way they wove thattogether with little, almost classical riffs between the songs yet notlosing one bit of the flavour....I couldn't believe the work they haddone on that music to put it together like that without taking awayanything from the original. And their harmonies when they sing are sogreat!"- Doc Watson"I thought them cats must be from Kentucky. Then I found out they werefrom Switzerland. They were unbelieveable. Bluegrass don't get anybetter than what those boys can do"- Ronnie Hawkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 these guys were fookin awesome! And a very cool venue - a small theatre space. 2nd set was a bit too slow for as tired as I was - not that it wasn't good, though. they said to sit back and relax and just enjoy. If I had closed my eyes I would have been asleep. Now I'm listening to some deep banana blackout from the vibes with my kitties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
