Bring your friends this Thursday March 17 at 8 and enjoy the magnificent Kruger Brothers, an award winning string trio from Wilkesboro, North Carolina. This fundraising concert for the Residential Hospice of Grey Bruce will be held at the Roxy Theatre in Owen Sound - tickets available online or at the door.
The Kruger Bothers are each uniquely talented musicians, and together play folk, Americana and bluegrass like you have never heard it. Doc Watson said - "The Kruger Brothers are just about as fine a band as I've ever played with. ... I love to play music with them."
