Biography

Native New Yorker Jess Klein was in college when she taught herself to play the guitar, using her father's old acoustic. She had already done a little singing and knew how to play the clarinet. In no time at all she was writing songs on her own and performing locally. With some time overseas, and then a move to Boston, MA, Klein turned her full attention toward her musical career. After performing enough to polish her natural skills, Klein recorded her first album, Wishes Well Disguised, in 1998. The debut was independently released and showcases tunes like "The Cloud Song," "Pressure," and "Favorite Shade of Blue." For 2000, Klein put together pop/rock and folk-mixed tracks like "Goodbye, Goodbye," "Little White Dove," "I Tried," and "Love Is Where You Find It," to complete a sophomore release titled Draw Them Near, breaking out under the Slow River Records label. Some of the artists who helped out on the recording were producer George Howard, mixer Paul Q.
