Big Wooly Mammoth Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) The Kruger Brothers will be back in Ottawa on December 1st. Venue TBA. If you’ve never seen these guys before, and you like bluegrass music, do yourself a favour and go to this show. I saw them for the first time in August, and I was blown away. You will not be disappointed. The Kruger brothers are originally from Switzerland, and now call North Carolina home. They are joined by Maynard Holbrook on tour who provides the band with that classic falsetto bluegrass voice. Listen to him on Working on a Building, which really features his voice. (And they are deadheads taboot!)You can listen to some clips from previous shows here , including I know You Rider and Don’t Think Twice.And here are some youtube clips. working on a building i know you rider I’ll post more once this is all confirmed and tickets are available.Thanks to Craig for putting this show together.

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I've got a copy of the August show, or the first set to be precise. I preferred that set. The second set was still really good, but definitely mellower. They started it of with a suite that they performed with the Bangor Symphony. I was so tired that night it almost put me to sleep! (that's not to say it wasn't good - my wife often fell asleep during dark star or space at dead shows.)I've been given the go ahead to make copies if people are interested. Let me know. I'd be happy to make some copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it almost everywhere from the last 20 years my mind allows and closely fell into that spell last May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagochips Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Speaking of the bluegrass, has anybody heard of the Gary Greenland Band? They are playing this Friday night at the Montgomery Legion Hall on Kent Street and, according to http://www.valleygrass.ca/ "Garry is one of the pre-eminent bluegrass musicians in the Ontario, so don't miss this show!"
