Jenny Lewis at The Echo

Indie folk darling Jenny Lewis will perform at The Echo on Sunday, September 29. As part of her JOY’ALL Ball tour, the performance will mark her final show of the year. Lewis shared a fun fact on her social media, revealing that the first Jenny Lewis show ever was at The Echo as part of Rilo Kiley and “opening for the great Eliott Smith many many moons ago.” Lewis will perform with friends the “Daffodils” as her band. Fellow bandmate Jimmy Tamborello (The Postal Service) will kick off the evening with a DJ set. Tickets are $40 and only available for purchase in-person at The Echo box office.

Please note: tickets are now sold out, but as always, more tickets are often released the day of the show. Keep your eyes peeled on Jenny Lewis’ Instagram for any new tickets.
