BLUEGRASS USA

Exhilarating, authentic, captivating, are 3 words that have been used to describe Bluegrass music. And there is nothing like hearing great bluegrass music played live to awaken your musical senses, to get your toes tapping and to lift your spirits! From searing solos picked on the 5 string banjo, acoustic guitar, mandolin or the fiddle, to soaring vocal harmonies, bluegrass has it all. And here is the chance to hear some of the best exponents of bluegrass music ever to have picked up an instrument. Swiss born, now North Carolina native Jens Kruger of the Kruger Brothers fame is recognised as one of the world’s greatest 5 string banjo virtuosos. His articulate and mesmerising playing on the banjo will leave you utterly spell-bound. To have him perform right here in Australia is a rare occasion not to be missed!

Also performing, from the state of Arizona, are the high-energy 4 piece band the Sonoran Dogs. With masterful performances on mandolin, guitar, banjo and double bass and rich vocal harmonies the Sonoran Dogs will show you just what great bluegrass music is all about. And opening the concert is Australia’s own bluegrass group, the Nahuysen Brothers Band. Identical twin brothers Peter and Mark Nahuysen are well known in the Australian acoustic music scene and along with their wives and now children play a sweet blend of Gospel, Folk and Bluegrass music that stands up to the best being played today.
