The Kruger Brothers regularly perform with symphony orchestras and string quartets around the world.
Jens Kruger is a member of the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame, and is a recipient of the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass Music, named 2014 Banjo Instrumentalist of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association, and is a 2016 nominee for the same award. | | | | Baltimore The High Ridge Ramblers West Virginia Old-Time Masters Friday, April 21 at 8 PM
Brown Memorial Woodbrook
Presbyterian Church 6200 N. Charles Street
The High Ridge Ramblers are Dave Bing, Andrew Dunlap, and Mark Payne. With fiddle, banjo, and guitar, the trio plays West Virginia mountain music the way they feel it. These experienced West Virginia musicians formed the trio not long ago for fun and to enjoy their appreciation of the sound of the three instruments playing twisty mountain tunes, early bluegrass, ballads, and old-time songs. And it has been said that they know their way around a hard-driving fiddle tune. | | | | | Westminster Phil Wiggins and
