ABOUT THE BAND
Druha Trava (which means “Second Grass”) was formed in 1991 by singer-songwriter Robert Krestan, banjo and wind instrumentalist Lubos Malina, dobro player Lubos Novotny and other veterans of the Czech acoustic music scene. Today’s line-up also includes guitarist Emil Formanek and guest bassist Jan Lstiburek.
DT’s distinctive sound is based on exceptional musicianship combined with Krestan’s gritty vocals and original songs. Druha Trava “uses American roots music as a launching pad for its own synthesis of jazz, pop, folk and even classical motifs,” stated an article about the band in The New York Times. “In doing so it transforms a quintessential American idiom into a richly textured, highly personal statement that defies genre classification.”
The winner of multiple Czech music awards, DT has a loyal following at home and in the United States. DT has toured the US extensively since 1993. They have recorded and performed with Peter Rowan, Charlie McCoy, Tony Trischka, Andy Owens, Davy Spillane and others. They have recorded more than a dozen CDs.
