Album Notes

"A voice a bit unlike any other - I dig his influences and welcome more." - Ben Ohmart, MusicDish.com

"An amazing vocal range combined with smart pop/jazz sensibilities." - Jeff Niesel, Scene Magazine

"Klose has a quietly astonishing voice - clear, resonant, clean, able to swing from high to low notes." - Jane Scott, The Cleveland Plain Dealer

About the Artist:
Originally from Germany, Jann was raised in Kenya and South Africa, and then came to the United States as an exchange student, landing in Cleveland, Ohio. After finishing high school and the Civil Service Program in Hamburg, Germany he returned to Cleveland to pursue a career in music. While in Cleveland, Jann recorded two independently released, full length albums (Enough Said and The Strangest Thing), while studying voice with Emmy Award winner David Gooding and performing with the Cleveland Opera Chorus. Jann relocated to New York City in 2000.

Since then he as appeared in theatre (The Who's Tommy, the Jekyll & Hyde US national tour, and the Jesus Christ Superstar European tour), and developed a following for his original music.

Jann and his band have toured Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, New York and Florida, have been seen on WEWS-TV, and heard on the nationally satellited Joey Reynolds show, XM Satellite Radio and Radio Fritz Berlin, to name a few. Jann's new EP BLACK BOX is out now.

Album Description:
The eight songs on The Strangest Thing are a showcase for Jann's powerful voice. Backed up by his seven piece, all acoustic band, the songs are honest and heartfelt, resting upon solid grooves. An original, any music lover will appreciate this young artists overall sound and eclectic style.
