Jenny Lewis has lived more lives than most. Born in 1976, she was a child actress in the '80s, with parts in Troop Beverly Hills and The Wizard and on TV's Brooklyn Bridge, before stepping back from acting in the mid-'90s to make music. In 1998 she started Rilo Kiley with fellow ex-child actor Blake Sennett, singing and playing guitar and keys through 4 albums before the band ended in 2014, and along the way she also turned up in the Postal Service, Jenny & Johnny and Nice as Fuck.
As a solo artist she's a sharp, wry storyteller with a gift for glossy, sun-bleached pop rock that hides a lot of hurt. Rabbit Fur Coat, in 2006, brought "Rise Up With Fists!!!", Acid Tongue followed in 2008, and The Voyager, in 2014, sharpened the hooks on "Just One of the Guys" and "She's Not Me". On the Line, in 2019, is the lushest of them, all "Heads Gonna Roll", "Wasted Youth" and the woozy "Red Bull and Hennessy".
Joy'All, in 2023, finds her in a playful, loose-limbed mood, with "Psychos" and "Cherry Baby" among the highlights.
