The first time we ever saw the popular indie sweethearts, Jenny and Johnny was at the FILTER Culture Collide Festival back in October. I’ve always been a fan of Jenny Lewis and Rilo Kiley and I was excited about her latest act, Jenny and Johnny (with her beau, Johnathan Rice). As always, Lewis was adorable […]
