"Grown-up music for an adolescent age"—New York Times
Jill Sobule's work is at once deeply personal and socially conscious, seriously funny and derisively tragic. Over five albums and a decade of recording, this Denver-born songwriter/guitarist/singer has tackled such topics as the death penalty, anorexia, shoplifting, reproduction, the French resistance movement, adolescence, and the Christian right. Not to mention kissing a girl, well before Katy Perry came along. And did we mention love? Love found, love lost, love wished for, and love taken away. Jill often writes satirical songs plotted through the eyes of women in the news or her own fictional female creations, and she has been compared with the late Warren Zevon, with whom she often performed. Jill recently released an album, "A Day at the Pass," with X founder John Doe, and she's at work on two new albums and a musical. So expect lots of new songs!
