Jeffrey Lewis

Antifolk tragi-comic singer/songwriter and graphic storytelling aficionado from New York City, Jeffrey Lewis began his career in the '90s playing open mic events and antifolk festivals at New York's Sidewalk Cafe along with the likes of Kimya Dawson and Major Matt Mason USA.
 
Since then he has released five extraordinary albums on Rough Trade Records, including the critical triumph "Em Are I", released in April of this year. Recently he has been writing for the New York Times online Op-Ed page, Measure for Measure, and lecturing on his senior thesis subject of the Alan Moore graphic novel "Watchmen".
 
'One of America's funniest, most sincere songwriters' - The Guardian
 
'Easily the most engaging figure to arise from 2001's "anti-folk" scene in New York, Jeffrey Lewis has since acquired a skiffle-ish backing band, and is rightly making waves' - Telegraph
