JESS KLEIN (folk pop) |

Bury Met - 23rd May 2008

Described as Emmylou Harris meets Patti Smith, New Yorker Jess Klein has become a regular at Bury Met with her soulful, passionate voice and lyrics that alternate between searing and heartbreakingly vulnerable. Her latest album 'City Garden' received five stars from MOJO magazine who described it as "moving and intense". Highly recommended!
