Their collaboration on his self-titled album, earned him "Best Songwriter" by Rolling Stone magazine, while their latest album, Outer South, makes for a multi-textured and enticing musical symbiosis. Bring a blanket and come Downtown to enjoy the songs that have earned them a dedicated following.

Jenny Lewis has transformed before our eyes from a shy indie-rocker to the authoritative, take-no-prisoners singer/songwriter/frontwoman we know today. Tack sharp and unafraid, channeling songs through either Rilo Kiley or her solo work, her staggering range has brought her critical acclaim around the globe.
