A close-up of Jeffrey Lewis.
Jeffrey Lewis
media release: Jeffrey Lewis and his various bandmates have perfected a scuzzy, urban style of indie-folk, developing from late-90s New York City bedroom tapes into a mighty 21st Century mash-up of folksy spiel and artsy garage, like Pete Seeger meeting Sonic Youth. A born and raised denizen of the Lower East Side, Lewis’s home recordings were discovered by Rough Trade Records in 2001. He’s built a worldwide fanbase while regularly changing band names, most recently recording as Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage for Don Giovanni Records and Moshi Moshi Records. On stage, Lewis is backed by collaborators in a lineup currently known as Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage.
As of 2025 the 4-piece line-up of Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage includes Mallory Feuer on violin and keyboard, Val Marchesi on bass and Brent Cole on drums.
EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis is due for release on March 21, 2025 via Don Giovanni Records (in North America) and Blang Records (UK). It's an incredibly moving, poignant, funny, heartbreaking album replete with Jeffrey's signature brilliant lyricism and raw honesty. The album is available for pre-order/save here: https://lnk.to/The_EVEN_
