Jann Klose
Jann Klose is a German-born pop (music) singer-songwriter.
Biography
Klose was raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, and Nairobi, Kenya as a child.[1] He moved to Hamburg, Germany as a teenager, and then to Cleveland, Ohio as an exchange student at Rocky River High School.[2] He did not learn to play an instrument until living in Cleveland, when, at the age of 17, he took up the piano first, and later the guitar.[2]
Career
Klose has released four CDs:
After Reverie, Klose received invitations to collaborate with Renaissance's Annie Haslam and keyboardist John Tout for a sold out show of the Sellersville Theater, in Sellersville, Pennsylvania. He also performed at Martin Guitar's 175th Anniversary with Marty Stuart, Roger McGuinn, and Rosanne Cash. He has toured with rock troubadour Elliott Murphy, and has opened for The Strawbs, Rusted Root's Michael Glabicki,[7] Old School Freight Train, and has shared the stage with multi-track recording inventor/performer Les Paul.
Critics have compared him to a range of modern day and old school artists including Kurt Weill, Paul McCartney, Nick Drake, Eric Matthews,[8] Sting, Jacques Brel, Francis Dunnery, and a not so risque Serge Gainsbourg.

In January 2000, Klose moved to New York City.[9]
