Ages 17+!
Jeffrey Lewis and his various bandmates have perfected a scuzzy, urban style of indie-folk, developing from late-90s New York City bedroom tapes into a mighty 21st Century mash-up of folksy spiel and artsy garage, like Pete Seeger meeting Sonic Youth. A born and raised denizen of the Lower East Side, Lewis’s home recordings were discovered by Rough Trade Records in 2001. He’s built a worldwide fanbase while regularly changing band names, most recently recording as Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage for Don Giovanni Records and Moshi Moshi Records.
On stage, Lewis is backed by collaborators in a lineup currently known as Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage. The band’s spectacular newest full-length album Bad Wiring was recorded in Nashville, TN with producer Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Sleater-Kinney) and released November 1, 2019, on Don Giovanni Records (USA/Australia) and Moshi Moshi Records (UK/Europe/ROW).
