Congratulations Jens! Thank you for your incredible contribution to music ... and my family loved you guys' performance at the Bloomin' Bluegrass Festival in Farmer's Branch Texas 1-1/2 weeks ago! We sure hope you all will come back next year!

I can't say who's objectively the best banjo player of all time, but I can say that Jens Kruger is my favorite banjo player of all time. Hello from Sweden!

Jens, a wonderful honor 🍾🎉, and about time, IMHO: no one in this earthly realm can do what you do on that there banjer! 😊 And, your compositions elicit just about every emotion: joy, sadness, tears, laughter, etc. Who else can do that?! - on any instrument for that matter! And, we love you. Hearty Congratulations from us! - Dulcie & Rich

Thank You Jens for your contribution to the world ...

Well deserved accolade to a gentleman of music excellence. He is an amazing human being into the bargain and is always generous with his time and friendship. An inspiration and a master at his "banjocraft". Not forgetting his supporting band comrades Uwe and Joel and more recently Jody who create a beautiful situation for his compositions and Jens being so sensitive and complimentary at a perfect supporting volume when Uwe sings and plays or Joel does a bass solo. Great to know you. 🪕 Congratulations from your Irish friends 💚👏☘

Well done jens👍👍

[@gerabeat]

Congratulations Jens! Cheers from Monterrey NL México. Dalia & Gerardo plus Gerardo JR who loves your playing!

[@banjologic]

Congratulations, Jens. We never knew much about your past other than you were a dynamic banjo player. That little bit of history about you and your brother was very interesting. It looks like you put a lot of hard work in and a lot of years so we are very, very glad that you were inducted into the American Banjo Hall of Fame. Thanks for sharing this experience and you and your brother and Joel sharing the wonderful music each week. We normally watch your show later Wednesdays after it is already aired but nevertheless we enjoy it and it is new to us. God bless you all in Jesus Christ.
