Jenny Lewis making her long overdue Grand Ole Opry debut tonight!

You can listen to Jenny Lewis make her Opry debut live on WSM Radio online tonight – show time is 7pm. Check the link below. 

Here's the scoop from the Opry...
Joy’All, the fifth solo album from alternative indie rock queen pin Jenny Lewis, sees the highly anticipated return of one of the most respected singer-songwriters of the 21st century.

A culmination of Lewis’ prolific 25-year career, which continues to blaze a path for generations of alternative and indie rock artists, Joy’All follows her four previous 4 solo albums - 2019’s On The Line, 2014’s The Voyager, 2008’s Acid Tongue and her 2006 solo debut Rabbit Fur Coat - as well as her tenure as co-founder of ‘00s alt-indie rock icons Rilo Kiley, side projects including The Postal Service, and collaborations with Beck, Elvis Costello, Conor Oberst, Bon Iver, and Ringo Starr…just to name a few.

Joy’All also sees the continuation of a fruitful creative relationship with Beck. In 2021, Lewis participated in a week-long virtual songwriting workshop, that challenged her to write one song every day for seven days, with guidelines from the eight-time Grammy®-winner - a challenge that resulted in Lewis writing a good portion of Joy’All.

Heralded by the “strummy, beach bunny americana anthem” (Vulture) first offering “Puppy and a Truck” as well as the chart-topping “Psychos” (watch performances below) - declared as “one of the best album openers of the year… an instant classic” (Rolling Stone) - “Giddy Up,” and “Cherry Baby,” Joy’All has quickly garnered a rapturous reception of critical acclaim: “four years on from her career-best on the line, she’s sounding better than ever” (Paper); “a kaleidoscopic pivot of the grandest proportions - Joy’All is Lewis’ brightest, grooviest, and coolest album yet” (Paste); “she can deploy her sweet, crisp, powerful voice in a million ways, equally able to embody heartbreak, weariness, sensuality, desperation, optimism or humor” (NPR).

With no signs of slowing down for 2023, Jenny is hitting the road for The Postal Service's 20th Anniversary tour for their platinum album give up as well as supporting dates for the Beck and Phoenix Summer Odyssey Tour, in addition to her own headlining dates in support of Joy’All this winter.
