English

Jan Kjaer Andersen is a Danish singer/songwriter and guitarist. He has written more than 100 songs, mostly in English and Danish, but also a few in French, Swahili and German.

He is a musical storyteller, reflecting on freedom, the planet, friendship, time, traveling – and of course love. Old standards and folk songs are also revived with new words – old poems with new melodies.

The style is singer/songwriter with pop, folk and jazz elements. Beautiful melodies, acoustic guitars and smooth voice.

Jan has traveled to about 90 countries and been working abroad for 8-9 years, mostly in Africa. This has influenced his songwriting quite a lot.

He is used to perform live up to 2½ hours and will mix his own songs with his favourite songwriters like Stevie Wonder, Beatles and Carole King.

He also performs in a duo set-up with bassplayer Thorkil Christensen.

Jan wants to team up with musicians in different parts of the world to create completely new sounds and emotions.

50 gigs in 2023. 37 already planned for 2024. Plays also regularly in IF Jazz Café in Budapest.
