(Cambridge, MA February 22, 2019) Folk Singer/Songwriter Jess Klein is set to perform songs from her 12th studio album “Back to My Green” at Club Passim in Harvard Square on March 7th. Joined by husband Mike June and Humble Tripe, Klein brings her unique folk sound that made her a finalist in the highly regarded Kerrville New Folk Competition. Doors open at 7pm, the show begins at 8pm.
Released in January, “Back to My Green” is a deeply felt set of original tunes that embodies the same intensity that made Klein’s prior releases so powerful, while adding a playful sensibility that reflects the inspiration of her new surroundings. Such new compositions as “In Dreams,” “Tougher Than I Seem” and “Mammal” pulse with 60’s era MoTown grooves and Atlantic records-style orchestration while “Blair Mountain” and “New Thanksgiving Feast” (a tribute to Native American pipeline protesters) reflect Klein’s folk-rock roots. Co-produced by Klein and North Carolina native Mark Simonsen (The Old Ceremony, Weems/Gerrard Band, film scores: Elephant Sighs, Radiation Veterans and Rareified) and Engineer Thom Canova (Amy Ray, 4 Non-Blondes, Oranj Symphonette), these ten new tracks resonate with feeling, painting a dynamic backdrop for Klein’s singular mezzo-soprano and incisive lyrics.
