No one and everyone. Anyone who sings about Goth Girls and Dead Gerbils. Folk, Blues, Bluegrass, British Isles. Sometimes I play Country music for money.
Kenny Klein is a singer, fiddler, guitarist, songwriter, performer, and several other things hardly worth mentioning here. Kenny has a plethora of CDs available, tours frequently, and seems to be everywhere at once sometimes. Check out the track from Kenny's newest CD, "Meet Me In The Shade Of The Maple Tree," which unlike any previous releases is rife with Bluegrass Pagan music.

I will be at Northern California Renaissance Festival for the first two weekends of that show. I hope to see you there. I'll also be at Escondido and at Ojai. Keep an eye on my schedule for details.
Hi Kenny, it's good to find you here, for some reason I thought we were already friends on myspace... between all these social networking sites, it's hard to keep track sometimes.
I really enjoyed listening to your music! Nice work!
I loved your presentation on the lore of birds at P-Con in Feb. I also LOVE your music! I bought all the CDs you had, and have been listening to them obsessively ever since.
