Jill Sobule

A TED conference favorite--a rare breed of artist whose work is at once deeply personal and socially conscious, seriously funny and derisively tragic.  Over five albums and a decade of recording, the Denver-born songwriter/guitarist/singer has tackled such topics as the death penalty, anorexia, shoplifting and adolescence to name a few.


There is a reality, a power and a delicacy to her performances--emotions can often turn from comedy to tragedy in a few bars.  Music began for Jill as a high school hobby and soon got serious.  Todd Rundgren produced her first album, Things Are Different.  Early hit songs included, "I Kissed a Girl" and "Supermodel." 


Jill inducted Neil Diamond in the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. She's performed with Neil Young, Billy Bragg and Warren Zevon and has been a political troubadour for NPR stations across America.  She's an American original.
