New York-based Jann Klose returns to South Africa next month for his second tour to the country he grew up in. Jann Klose is a multi-award-winning pop singer-songwriter and was raised in Kenya, South Africa, Germany, and the United States and now resides in New York City.
South Africa has always held a special
place in his heart and he’s excited for his tour next month. “I am so excited
to return for the second time in a year to tour in South Africa. I spent part
of my childhood in Johannesburg. It still is a place of great beauty and
enormous potential. I’m looking forward to partnering up with South African
artists this time and hope to build connections between South Africa, my native
Germany and my country of residence, the USA.”
Klose kicks off his tour on Saturday 3
September in Cape Town and spends the following 13 days in the Mother City
performing at the Cottage Club (3 Sep), attending the Music Exchange &
Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) Songwriter Camp (4 - 11 Sep), The Alma Cafe (14
Sep), City Soirée Showcase @ Blah Blah Bar (15 Sep) and his final Cape Town
show of the tour will be at the infamous Café Roux on Fri 16 September. Klose
then travels down to Port Elizabeth on Saturday 17 September to perform at The
Music Kitchen and finally reaches Johannesburg on 23 September for a special
show at The Good Luck Bar.
Klose has periodically collaborated with
members of classical rock group Renaissance and tours regularly in the U.S.,
Europe, Africa and Asia. He has opened for or performed with a wide range of
artists including Pat Benatar, John Oates of ‘Hall and Oates’, Suzanne Vega,
Paula Cole, Annie Haslam, Brett Dennen, Vonda Shepard, Willy Porter, Rosanne
Cash, The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn, The Yardbirds’ Jim McCarty, Elliott Murphy,

His tour to South Africa sees him share the

Johannesburg), Jonathan Tait, Donovan Noyle, Matthew Rice Trio, Cameron Bruce
Collective and others join him at select shows.

garnered a reputation of being one of the great singer-songwriters to see live.
