My ears perked up thinking this was something unfamiliar  from Belá Fleck.  Nice way to learn of another group I need to check out.   

As told by Belá in concert:  What did the man say to the banjo player who was wearing a suit?  

"Will the defendant please rise"
Krüger Brothers sounds more like a dark film making duo than musicians making tinkly music.

I'm all the more amused by this because Gary Larsen (the cartoonist) played banjo.

Did you guys just land here from the planet Classic Rock only to be fooled by the one or two Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin things played on RP? I love the "what's going here?" part.

Hey, forget about it!

Wide tastes in music. Appreciation for music outside one's personal playlist.  Stuff like that is going on here.

I love me some banjo and this song is kinda fun.  But this is hilarious!  Props given.
saw them in concert recently - great musicians but played some really silly music to please the older crowd (south Florida). I enjoyed there instrumentals much more than their singing - not fond of their gospel bluegrass (I call it God Grass) at all.
Worth repeating...
It's not bad...but just feels like the same 30 seconds over and over.  I like me a good banjo on occasion, but it's just sorta......blah

Yeah.  It's the juxtaposition of violins and banjo that gives it the Penguin Cafe vibe.

Fresh.
First few notes I thought it was Andrew Bird...
This is nice, thanks B&R
Everybody in my flock of seagulls love and dance to this tune
Really no hum. :-(
Starts off a bit sparse, but I love the way it gradually builds, and once the (bowed) strings join in, it's truly superb.  Lovely harmonies.
Lucid Dreaming, indeed... And echoes of some other tune on the tip of my ear...
I like...{#Laughing}
Different

Wow! 

Let's see:  Now here is a good example of the behavior of the audience when they are confronted to hear music that aesthetically occurred over the formatted pop-indie patterns, which often are injected. Nothing more.

Of the few listeners who dared to vote in "The Gate of Memory", more or less convinced, and few (28 votes), resulted in a score of "6", totally inappropriate, considering both the merits of own song, as this folk band.

Let's give the benefit of the doubt, perhaps for being a recent album (2015), has not yet reached the ears of most of the audience. We will see. And i don't want to be a detractor, but if were a band of modern music formatted, the album would have here, contains 5 or 6 songs, so i assume that there is a clear loss of RP resources.



 
Relax.  As of this writing the rating is up to 7.3
Sounds like light streaming through the trees, dancing on my cheeks, as I bike along a back-country road, and I can see in the distance a lovely covered bridge. Maybe I'm in Henniker, NH.
Comparing this group with the Sparrow Quartet, I'll take Abigail, Bela and Co thank you.
Just thinking recently how I'd love to hear the Kruger Brothers on Radio Paradise, wondering if you were familiar with them. How nice.
