Monday 7th September will perform in Blackpool for the first time at ⭐

One of the most acclaimed and well-known musicians associated with New York City’s anti-folk scene, Jeffrey Lewis has been active in music since the late ‘90s, writing sharp, literate, and sometimes hilarious songs about city life, everyday occurrences, history, and underground culture. Typically delivered in his signature deadpan vocal style, his songs frequently namecheck influences such as the Fall, the Misfits, and Will Oldham, and often have a rambling, shaggy-dog narrative or a punch line.
