About Moondi Klein

Moondi grew up in Manhattan and along with his brother Adam, joined the Metropolitan Opera’s Children’s Chorus before the age of 10 and sang with the Chorus through his mid-teens. However, Moondi’s father, who worked with The Rockefeller Foundation awarding grants, took him on a trip to The Carter Fold in Southwest Virginia and changed his musical focus; Moondi got a taste of mountain music and hasn’t looked back since.

Moondi learned to play the guitar and banjo, and studied music in college. After college he moved to the Washington D.C. area and and helped form the band, Rock Creek, gaining recognition for his outstanding vocal skills. Later he replaced John Starling as the lead singer with The Seldom Scene and eventually went on to form Chesapeake with Jimmy Gaudreau, Mike Auldridge and T. Michael Coleman. Chesapeake’s three CDs with Sugar Hill Records gained critical acclaim. In March 2008, Moondi and Jimmy Gaudreau released their first project as a duo, “2:10 Train,” on Rounder Records.
