You will find the right music and entertainment for your event with the Klaberheads!

Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest is where the “Klaberheads” name was coined. As the Franz Klaber Orchestra began amassing a faithful following and parodying Jimmy Buffett tunes, our friend Tim adapted “Parrot-heads” into “Klaber-heads”, and it quickly became a term to describe both the band and our fans. Within a short period of time, we semi-officially adopted the name, and now at all the festivals we play, we are known as The Klaberheads.

With a high-energy show geared towards crowd participation, the Klaberheads show is unparalleled in bringing fun and delight to the audience. Whether you just “schunkle” from your seat or join us on the dance floor, you will find out what it means to be “Klaber-ed” at Oktoberfest!!

Big Band

The Franz Klaber Orchestra was founded in 1930, just prior to the dawn of the big band era. We love playing the music of Glen Miller, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra and others, as well as playing big band arrangements of more contemporary tunes.

We don’t just play the tunes; you will hear the stories behind the songs, and be transported to a time when “Swing was King”. We can perform the Big Band show as a concert or as a dance, and can weave in tunes like "In the Mood" to any show we play.

Dance/Party/Wedding Reception Band

The FKO, aka the Klaberheads, has hosted their own New Year’s Eve dance at the Marriott in Hamilton, OH for the past seven years. We can play any mix of dance tunes, from traditional polkas and waltzes, to swing dances to tangos, and of course as the hour gets later we break out the disco and party tunes.

Concert in the Park

The Klaberheads have been a staple on the community Concert in the Park circuit for many years now. With a diverse repertoire and the crowd connection that we honed at the Oktoberfest, the Klaberheads provide a fun show that your concert crowd will want to keep coming back for every year.

Christmas Party/Concert

Over the past several years, the holiday repertoire of the Klaberheads has grown to where we now perform concerts of exclusively Christmas/Holiday music. We even released our first Holiday CD, The Man with the Bag, in 2016.

The Buffett Experience with the Klaberheads

"The Klaberheads (aka the Franz Klaber Orchestra) got their name as a variation on Jimmy’s fans the “Parrotheads”, when they started playing Buffett tunes with an Oktoberfest twist. The band now offers a show where they base their playlist on the Jimmy’s tunes as well as those he likes to cover in concert, and present a full band Buffett tribute that is unparalleled in the area.
