Kenny Klein; fiddle, guitar, banjo, bass, vocals. Joined on occasion by Junia May Hale; vocals, and Bryan Dobbs; mandolin and Dobro. (Together the three of us perform as The Long Goners).

Many, including but not limited to: Richard Thompson, The Incredible String Band, Donovan, Dylan I suppose, Fairport Convention, Vassar Clemments, Goth stuff, Rasputina, Asleep At The Wheel, Johnny Gimble, Poe (the singer, not the writer), Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, old Bluegrass Gospel, Poe (the writer, not the singer), Western Swing, and Morris Dance music.
Sounds Like
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 NOT be at the Muse Cafe this Saturday, February 9. There was a small schedule conflict, so I will be playing there on a different date TBA. I am waiting for details from Southern CA Ren Faire, but it looks like I will be there for the season. More on that as I learn more on that.
It is very strange that you messaged me today because I was just talking about you with this girl sarah today! She performed at the farmer's market I book music for and she said you used to paint her when she was younger. I miss you too! It seems like everywhere I go there is some sort of starwood connection and then it gets me thinking about it constantly again. Maybe one day I'll make it out your way...
