Hettinger's 4th of July Entertainment will feature the Kruger Brothers
Born and raised in Switzerland, Jens (yens) and Uwe (oo-vay) Kruger have been performing professionally since 1973.  After playing for twenty years throughout Europe, in various styles and venues, they invited Joel Landsberg to join them.  

Kruger Brothers performances are exciting, calming, entertaining and spontaneous, reflecting their sheer joy in playing music.  Their virtuoso playing combined with the manner in which they interact with each other and with their audience makes their music uniquely special.

Since moving to North Carolina permanently in the fall of 2003, the Kruger Brothers, along with their technical director Philip Zancon, who manages their record label, Double Time Music, Inc., have concentrated their efforts on performing year-round throughout the US.  A highlight of their career arrived in June 2007 when they performed with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra to present the world premier of Music from the Spring: a Romantic Serenade for Banjo, Guitar, Bass & Orchestra.  Jens wrote the orchestral score, fulfilling a lifelong ambition.   The concert was a tremendous success, and was recorded for a DVD released in 2008.

The Kruger Brothers have performed with many popular artists including Willie Nelson, Ricky Scaggs, Peter Rowan, Alison Brown and Vince Gill to name a few.  This spring they performed at Merlefest in North Carolina and the Silver Dollar City Bluegrass Festival in Branson, Missouri.

The Kruger Brothers will present a concert at Mirror Lake Park Bandshell in Hettinger on the evening of July 4th.  Tickets will be sold at the event and in advance at the Chamber Office with prices of $7.00 for adults, $4 for students in K – 12th grade and preschoolers free.  Bring your lawn chair and enjoy the music of this world famous group.  Opening for the Kruger Brothers will be "New Horizons" from Regent.
