Daniel Kleederman
After a half-decade as a dedicated collaborator, lead guitarist, and music director for indie darling Bartees Strange, where he “help[ed] redefine the sound of indie rock for the 2020s” (Rock n’ Roll Globe), Daniel Kleederman chose to let go of the festival lights and international tours to bring his attention to his own music and path. Releasing Another Life, his debut LP, featured as one of NPR’s “Best New Albums” during its release week in early April, was his first order of business. The record, a heartful journey through the depths of love and loss, is a “genre-bending lesson in songwriting.”
Often drawing comparisons to Jeff Buckley with his emotive, rangy falsetto in toe, Kleederman’s song explorations are grounded first and foremost by his formative relationship with the guitar. Anyone who sees Daniel Kleederman perform understands his intimate and loving relationship to his instrument; in his hands, the guitar appears both an extension of self and a portal to other worlds. Kleederman’s friendship with the guitar remains a timeless force, ever-present in his current work, on and off stage.
