Jeffrey Lewis & the Voltage (US) | Xenon

Jeffrey Lewis specialises in a unique and, quite frankly, brilliant form of indie rock that also picks the best elements from folk music. It’s no coincidence that his upcoming album is titled “The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis” (Bob Dylan fans get the reference!). 

It all began with Jeffrey Lewis recording and releasing homemade cassette tapes om the streets of New York City. Naturally, fate would have it that his quirky and utterly charming songs would end up being released by a real record label. Since then, Jeffrey Lewis has been releasing music non-stop—both official, “proper” albums and homemade, off-the-cuff recordings that are just as good as the official ones. 

Alongside this, the project has evolved into a full-fledged live band. Jeffrey Lewis has shared the stage with heroes and inspirations like The Mountain Goats, Daniel Johnston, Stephen Malkmus, Dinosaur Jr, The Fall, Roky Erickson, and The Vaselines. 

And it’s exactly in that company that Jeffrey Lewis rightfully belongs. Are we overselling him, you ask? Not in the slightest! Jeffrey Lewis is one of a kind—criminally overlooked by the majority but deeply loved by the minority. And wouldn’t you agree you belong to the latter? Thought so, music connoisseur! 

Now the American original is stopping by HUSET’s Xenon venue with his band. You can look forward to his imaginative storytelling and his unique relationship with his ramshackle guitar. By the way, he’s also known for incorporating his visual art and cartoons (yes, he does that too!) into his live performances. 

So, there’s really nothing more to say. Click that buy button, and we’ll see you soon at HUSET!
