Suggested donation $30; all ages show; doors open at 5:30pm (for dining), Jill begins at 7:30pm (but after announcements).Jill Sobule’s work is at once deeply personal and socially conscious, seriously funny and derisively tragic. In a dozen albums spanning three decades of recording, the Denver-born songwriter/guitarist/singer has tackled such topics as the death penalty, anorexia nervosa, shoplifting, reproduction, the French Resistance, adolescent malaise, LGBTQ issues, and the Christian Right. Her hits include “I Kissed A Girl”—the first openly gay-themed song ever to crack the Billboard Top 20—and the alt-rock anthem “Supermodel” featured in the film Clueless. Sobule was one half of The Jill & Julia Show, providing music while actor Julia Sweeney contributes storytelling. Jill is considered a pioneer in crowdfunding and is constantly exploring and creating new models for artists in an ever-changing music industry. Her latest record, Nostalgia Kills - was produced by Ben Lee and released on her own Pinko Records label. Jill’s theater credits include a musical adaptation of the Broadway classic Yentl, Prozak and the Platypus, and Times Square. In November of 2019 Jill sang a song as herself on an episode of the Simpsons. Jill’s latest project is her New York Times Critics pick, Drama Desk nominated autobiographical musical F*ck 7th Grade which premiered at the Wild Project in 2022; had a reboot in the Winter of 2023 - and ran again for three weeks in 2024 (4th run, in three years). The show will be showcased at APAP 2025 in NYC for two nights in January. A cast recording will be released on May 2nd, with singles scheduled on March 7th (“Raleigh Blue Chopper”), April 4th (“Underdog Victorious”), focus track on May 2nd will be “A Good Life”, and “A Good Life (radio edit) will be released on May 23rd. She will be touring “Jill Sobule presents: Music from F*ck 7th Grade & More” shows throughout 2025 & beyond, with a focus on trying to present the full cast show during Pride Month (June). She’ll record her first album of new material in March or May for a probable January 2026 release, with singles beginning in September of this year.
"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 …grown-up music for an adolescent age.”
