The Klaberheads

The original Franz Klaber Orchestra was founded in 1930 by Franz Klaber and is one of Southwest Ohio’s oldest continuously running bands.  Franz’s vision was a group of talented musicians that mixed popular music with traditional German songs. Franz’s daughter Mary Ann sang, and his two sons, Bill and Franz Klaber, Jr., joined while they were in junior high school. At the age of 24, Franz Jr. took over the band and continued the tradition.  The Klaberheads are now led by the third generation, Erika Klaber, who has carried on her father and grandfather’s vision while bringing her own style to the group.
