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 tackle 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 Sweeny 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 is Nostalgia Kills, 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, Prozac and the Platypus, and Times Square. Her latest, F*ck 7th Grade was postponed due to COVID, but was performed and filmed for three days at a make-shift drive-in over the summer. The musical is a finalist for the Lambda Literary awards in the LGBTQ Drama category this June.
"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." - The New York Times
