An Evening with Jess Klein (Band Show)

Jess Klein is an acclaimed singer-songwriter whose acoustic-driven, hook-laden songs explore joy, rage, sensuality, and resilience. Praised by The New York Times as “a songwriter with a voice of unblinking tenacity,” Jess has toured globally, performing in intimate listening rooms, cozy theaters, and major festivals. She has shared the stage with legends like Ani DiFranco, Steve Earle, and Alejandro Escovedo, and supported artists including Arlo Guthrie, Josh Ritter, and Damien Dempsey.

Her live shows are known for their soulful intimacy and emotional intensity, whether solo or backed by a band. The Bluegrass Situation describes her music as “one part grassroots social activism, two parts alt-country guitar rock.” Jess’s latest album, When We Rise (2023), channels empowerment and the joy of overcoming into a deeply introspective, roots-inflected sound.
