Jenny Lewis released her fourth and most critically acclaimed solo album to date, On The Line, in 2019. Recorded at the distinguished Capitol Studios, the album features a who’s who of supporting players including Beck, Don Was, Benmont Tench, Jim Keltner, Ringo Starr, and Beck sidemen Jason Falkner and Smokey Hormel among others. The album continues to generate rave reviews, with Vulture declaring it her “best work to date,” and top spots on Best of 2019 (So Far) lists including Rolling Stone, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today and AV Club. A culmination of Lewis’ prolific 20-plus year career, On The Line follows her three previous solo albums as well as her universally-loved work in Rilo Kiley and several side projects. After a globe-spanning 2019 tour that saw her headline the likes of The Ryman, Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre, and a very special stop at NPR Music’s Tiny Desk, Jenny spent 2020 and 2021 recording new music, including the Dave Cob-produced, “Puppy and A Truck, and captivating audiences as special guest of Harry Styles for Love On Tour. With no signs of slowing down for 2022, Jenny Lewis is fastidiously at work in the studio and on tour as she prepares to hit the road with The Chicks in addition to her own headlining dates.

Australia-born Tommy Emmanuel started playing guitar at 4. By his twenties he was a most sought-after performer and session musician, burning on electric guitar with several bands. Yearning for something purer and closer to his heart he went acoustic—shaped by his hero and eventual lifelong friend, Chet Atkins, who welcomed him into guitarist knighthood by bestowing upon him the coveted title of Certified Guitar Player. Receiving Chet’s love and esteem lifted Tommy into a different realm. The exuberance he brings to every note of every song is palpable and infectious. Fans love his unbound guitar talent and ability to play three parts at once, always with pure heart and real soul. This true virtuoso seems as delighted with the music’s magic as the audience, his joy illuminating everything. It’s one thing to play multidimensional arrangements flawlessly on an acoustic guitar. Doing so with that smile of the ages—evidence of authentic, unbridled delight—is an irresistibly infectious invitation to feel his music deeply. That authentic exuberance Tommy brings to every show and record is especially powerful. His happiness, like his music, is pure and expressed in real time—a quality reaching far beyond any one language and instantly understood by his fellow humans. It’s why he and his audience smile so much as he plays. His joy is universally recognized. And it feels good.
