About Klender (& team)...
Klender music and lyrics transport you to another place, inside. Klender recently completed construction on his 4th recording studio, in beautiful Prescott AZ, where he loves to create. He collaborates with a number of talented songwriters and artists. His latest releases include a song about the beauty and wonder of his home state, ARIZONA, written with songwriter Ted Winchester; and a fun new country EP coproduced with guitarist/songwriter Bob Huff titled “The Legend of Camelback Jack“. In addition to working on a new Christmas album (enjoy its first single – “The Miracle”), Huff & Klender have also been busy composing and scoring their first full-length symphony due for release in late 2024.
During the pandemic, veteran singer-songwriter, Klender released a 5-album set of his original story songs… it just so happened that crazy season was the most prolific period of his career.
Klender had a lot to write about on a number of diverse themes: Stories, Passion/Love, Anthems, Wine and Worship. Simultaneously, he was producing and recording a lot of modern country cuts with a number of talented collaborators and so the songs began to stack up as he produced them at his Paso Robles barn-studio, located on his CA vineyard property.
He adds, “I lived happily on my small Cabernet vineyard and had all this land and space, so I built me a large barn that doubled as a wine tasting room and recording studio. Wine and music go so great together;… so why not…the creative juices were magically flowing… (or was it just the wine?)”
Klender had so many potential singles, stirring in his heart, that he decided to just release a new Farewell Box Set of 35 songs. These 5 albums represent the 5-star points of his life. By the time he had come up for air he had created and collaborated on a total of over 75 songs, including a Revelation Rock Opera, that Songtracker Studios released during this season.
One of these projects is appropriately titled Passion. He adds, “There’s a price to pay for the passions in our life… it often takes considerable sacrifice to accomplish or enjoy something or someone you truly love… life has a way of leaving its own set of beautiful, emotional scars.”
Klender has always enjoyed writing anthems for various causes. He penned and produced the mega top-40 radio child abuse anthem “Dear Mr. Jesus” some years ago and continues to write and produce songs for various causes close to his heart, which are part of his Anthem album.
The range of Klender’s creativity and his edgy soulful voice bring a diversity of song and story to his life’s ongoing mega-project. He adds, “I just want to leave it all on the field this time out… you never know how many more projects you have left in you. We’re just writing up a storm and creating a little studio-fun every single day… and currently delving into the tv and film world. After so many years in the music industry, I’m simply grateful to still be producing at the highest level of productivity and love sharing my creativity with others.”
