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. Join us as we welcome Jill Sobule's
return to the Blue Moon Coffeehouse. To learn more about
