Chicago Farmer & The Fieldnotes at The Cedar Cultural Center

Steeped in a long tradition of Minneapolis folk music, Jack Klatt writes musical telegraphs from a bygone age. Klatt’s music evokes equally the well crafted lyrical themes of Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan and the rebellious fire of the Clash. Fresh off a stint in southern Europe Klatt brings a variety of influences, from delta blues to punk rock, to the stage as he plies his trade as troubadour. Whether breathing new life into traditional blues or inspecting current events through protest songs, Klatt displays a command of language, guitar and harmonica well beyond his years.
