Craig Klein is born and bred New Orleans and has constantly been exposed to a diverse mixture of music cultures. As a high school trombone player hanging around the French Quarter his love of New Orleans music was solidified when he stumbled upon Preservation Hall in the mid 70’s. From there, he chased the New Orleans sound all around town. In 1980, his trombone playing Uncle Gerry Dallmann invited him to parade around the Quarter with a funky street band called The Pair-A-Dice Tumblers. These musicians were bonified "Marching Music Therapists." That experience led him to become a founding member of two prominent brass bands, The Storyville Stompers (1981) and later The New Orleans NightCrawlers (1994). Later Klein toured with Harry Connick, Jr. for 16 years. In 2006 Craig left Harry to focus on the trombone-focused Bonerama.
Craig has a vast musical experience and has played on well over 150 records, including “Talkative Horns - Musical Conversations On Lucien Barbarin,” a tribute to a dear friend, great trombonist and entertainer. He has played with the best: Dr. John, The Neville Brothers, George Porter, Leroy Jones, Tori Amos, Dave Bartholomew, REM, Allen Toussaint, Preservation Hall, The Palm Court Jazz Band, The Jazz Vipers, Bruce Hornsby, Storyville Stompers, New Orleans Nightcrawlers . . . just to name a few!
