“Adds a California sheen to melancholy and nostalgia”—The Independent

In the music of singer-songwriter Jenny Lewis, indie pop meets alternative country. Known in the 2000s decade as the lead singer of the band Rilo Kiley, who opened for Coldplay on their 2005 U.S. tour, Jenny has struck out on her own with solo albums on which she has put her own twist on Americana vocal styles. Invited by Conor Oberst to record for the Team Love label, Jenny released “Rabbit Fur Coat,” which featured background vocals by Oberst and Kentucky’s Watson Twins. Her sophomore effort, “Acid Tongue,” boasted contributions by a set of indie all-stars headed by Elvis Costello and She & Him. Jenny’s third album, “The Voyager,” did not appear until 2014 and reflected on a long period of personal stress that included the death of her estranged father and the final breakup of Rilo Kiley. The winner of a Best Temperature Raiser nod in Esquire magazine’s Esky awards, Jenny Lewis is much more than a pretty face: she’s an artist who has interpreted Americana sounds anew and has connected the indie and roots worlds. Jenny’s most recent album, “On the Line,” is a breakup album—a classic theme, but one she makes all her own. Jenny is due for some new music, so check out this show and see what she’s been up to creatively.
