Joe Kann

I am singer/songwriter whose unique style is informed by my experiences as a husband, father, and traveler.  Inspired primarily by the folk tradition, I show a rare authenticity in my songwriting, which explores themes of family, love, and the passing of time.

I was born in New York and spent much of my early adult life traveling the country.  Although I harbored dreams of a life in music as a young man, I instead pursued a career as an air traffic controller which took up most of my time.  Music, however, was never far from my mind.  Everywhere I went, I absorbed the local styles, quietly building up a diverse knowledge of everything from early blues to classic rock’n’roll, all of which would come to inform my sound.

Now, almost thirty years after first picking up a guitar, I am putting the stories of my life into songs.  I released his first tracks in late 2020 and has been steadily building momentum.  As my repertoire grows, I am dedicated to continuing to travel the country and build connections through my music.
