Biography

Klose was raised in and Nairobi, Kenya and Johannesburg, South Africa, as a child.[1] He moved to Hamburg, Germany as a teenager, and then to Cleveland, Ohio as an exchange student at Rocky River High School.[2] He did not learn to play an instrument until living in Cleveland, when, at the age of 17, he took up the piano first, and later the guitar.[2]

After Reverie, Klose received invitations to collaborate with Renaissance's Annie Haslam and keyboardist John Tout for a sold out show of the Sellersville Theater, in Sellersville, Pennsylvania. He also performed at Martin Guitar's 175th Anniversary with Marty Stuart, Roger McGuinn, and Rosanne Cash.
