“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
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 tackled 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 Sweeney contributes storytelling. Sobule 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. Sobule’s theater credits include a musical adaptation of the Broadway classic Yentl, Prozak and the Platypus, and Times Square. Her latest, F*ck7thGrade, was postponed due to COVID-19, but was performed and filmed for three days at a make-shift drive-in. The musical was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Awards in LGBTQ Drama category in 2021.
