My Jerusalem‘s Jeff Klein gained early inspiration from his older brother’s Replacements records. Writing his own songs at age 15, Klein went to Berklee School of Music at age 18. Soon after, Klein moved to Austin and worked with allies like Jon Dee Graham and Will Sexton. Guitar and piano master, Klein not only is associated with My Jerusalem, but also with The Gutter Twins and The Twilight Singers. The release of his 2000 indie rock album started his hype and now four albums later, we can’t get enough.
