Jill Sobule

You won't want to miss being among the audience to welcome Jill Sobule back to the Blue Moon Coffeehouse! Before the first set had concluded in her debut show, folks were clamoring for a return by this witty and winsome artist. Those already familiar with her music know that Jill Sobule can claim her place among the stellar New York singer-songwriters of the last decade. Topical, funny and more than a little poignant she writes grown-up music for an adolescent age. Sobule crafts smart, neoclassic pop with a middle child's talent for attention getting. Sobule possesses the uncommon ability to combine lilting, infectious melodies with personal and socially relevant lyrics, and then couch them in artfully crafted arrangements. People Magazine has said that Jill is "Vocally gifted and lyrically witty...a peerless satirist." It's not surprising that Sobule's music is admired by musicians as diverse as Don Henley (for whom she opened), Lloyd Cole (whose band The Negatives she was a member of), Warren Zevon, and The Go Go's Jane Weidlin. She is one of the '90s more interesting, accomplished, and regrettably little known singer-songwriters. Jill Sobule draws the listener into some of the finest story-songs being written today. She's witty, charming and devilishly funny. A feisty post-punk feminist, whose work brings to mind a cross between Liz Phair and Gertrude Stein, mixed with a good helping of musical moxie.
