The Washington Post does not cover too many independent artists, but felt
compelled to write about Jann Klose. They said, “Klose wins over the
listener with his soaring voice, which may well be a staple of chamber pop
for a long time to come.”
A citizen of the world, Jann Klose has lived on three continents, making
his home in the melting pot that is New York City. Before coming to the
United States as an exchange student in Cleveland, Ohio, he lived in
Germany, Kenya, and South Africa. As a singer and songwriter, his music
reflects this lyrically, melodically, rhythmically and in his choice of
eclectic instruments and musicians.
It also shows in the people who choose to work with him. During the course of his career, Jann has worked live or in the studio with artists ranging from Rusted Root and Gary Lucas to pioneers like Pete Seeger and Les Paul to classic rockers like Roger (The Byrds) McGuinn, and Annie (Renaissance) Haslam to major country stars like Rosanne Cash and Marty Stuart, to award winning mentors like voice teacher David Gooding and producers Marlon Graves, and Stewart Lerman. Endorsed by Martin Guitars and L.R. Baggs, WGN Radio’s Steve & Johnnie, Rock Hall inductee Joey Reynolds and Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson have all personally lent a helping hand in his career.
