[ATTENDED: December 22, 2018] Jill Sobule
A friend of mine had told me about the newly renovated Hopewell Theater and how it was a great little venue. And then I saw that Jill Sobule was playing there.
Jill Sobule had a couple of hits in the 90s (she wrote “I Kissed a Girl” before Katy Perry did). She bubbled under the radar for a number of years and during that time she released some fantastic albums. Her songs have always been catchy and smart. Many of her lyrics are funny but pointed. And while she’s pretty firmly rooted in the folk scene, her albums tend to rock more than not, with a few ballads tucked in as well.
Over the last decade or so, she’s been quieter, but it turns out she never stopped writing and she’s back with a new album and a one woman show called “#Fuck7thGrade.”
Plus, Hopewell is only 25 minutes from our house. (more…)
