Originally from Switzerland, where the trio first formed, Jens Kruger and Uwe Kruger later moved to Wilkes County, NC.〔http://www.wdav.org/1_186_0.cfm?do=view&id=222〕 The brothers began playing North American folk music at an early age and were particularly inspired by recordings of Doc Watson, Flatt and Scruggs, Bill Monroe, and other progenitors of country, bluegrass and folk music.〔http://www.wdav.org/1_186_0.cfm?do=view&id=222〕 Their first public performances were as a duo, busking on the streets of cities throughout eastern and western Europe. Later, after gaining a recording contract as well as a radio show on SRG SSR, the Swiss public broadcaster, they teamed up with bass player Joel Landsberg, inaugurating a trio that has been playing professionally together since 1995.〔http://www.krugerfans.com/theplayers.html〕 Landsberg is an American citizen from New York, NY. The first recording project to include Landsberg was ''Behind the Barn, Vol. 2,'' which was released in 1997.〔http://www.krugerbrothers.com/archives/portfolio/behind-the-barn-vol-2〕
Today the group is highly regarded within the world of acoustic music in North America, in particular by those within the industry. They have also gained the attention of some of the musicians, including Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, Tut Taylor, and Bobby Hicks, that once served as models. Watson once remarked that, "The Kruger Brothers are just about as fine a band as I’ve ever played with. … I ''love'' to play music with them.”〔Merlefest Live: the 15 Anniversary Jam, DVD. Merlefest, 2003.〕
