Ann Klein is one of New York City’s most valued musicians. Not only a songwriter, singer, band leader and versatile guitarist, she’s an established master of various country string instruments. Upon meeting her, you wouldn’t assume any of the above, you’d simply think she was just a really nice person with a great sense of humor. In other words, Ann has a lot going on. I feel lucky to know her!

It was pure joy to have Ann Klein as the in-house contractor during the Broadway run of “Almost Famous, the musical.” Besides overseeing a kick-ass orchestra for the show, Ann deftly handled all payroll/administrative with the utmost professionalism. Plus, her guitar playing is on fire! I look forward to the day when we work together again.

“Don’t be fooled by her laid back persona, Ann will kick your ass with that guitar. Both powerful and full of taste, I love to hear her play. Great songwriter in her own right, I also enjoy what she adds to the acts she sits in with.”
- Paul Rizzo, Manager, The Bitter End
Ann Klein is a great mandolin player. I don’t know how many people know that. When a chair comes up with mandolin, she should do it. She’s a great guitar player, but also a great mandolin player.

As far as Ann being the "producer" of “Seat At The Table”: For me, this was ideal…I got sheet music and a demo in enough time to familiarize myself with the song for further instruction, suggestion and adjustments for the recording date
- Aisha de Haas, Broadway singer/actor extraordinaire
I have worked with Ann Klein for the last 13 years. Ann is an amazing guitar and mandolin player and has shaped the sound of my music beyond anything I could have imagined. As my musical director, Ann has also coordinated the logistics and musicians of my live shows as well. I am honored to have worked with her.
