Jill = Great live performer
by FreddyRumson on 7/10/13Howard Theatre - WashingtonJill Sobule had some MTV hits in the 1990s, but now plays mostly acoustic. An outstanding songwriter with a sharp wit -- which is all the funnier because her voice has a sweet (almost mousy) quality. Think of an angelic Randy Newman who plays guitar instead of piano. Some of her songs are topical and political -- leaning to the left. I've seen her live 5 times, and each show is an event on its own because she could just as easily be an improv comic. She is particularly good on stage with Julia Sweeney -- two funny ladies telling stories and singing songs.
