Live Music: Jill Sobule at Fruitlands Museum

Award-winning singer/songwriter and guitarist Jill Sobule plays Sept. 15 at the Fruitlands Fall Concert Series, this year celebrating diverse women’s voices in art and music today.

The ECR Music Group artist has released a dozen albums spanning three decades of recording. The Denver-born performer’s work is at once deeply personal and socially conscious, seriously funny, and derisively tragic. While her songs cover expansive thematic ground, they benefit greatly from Jill’s subtle intelligence and skillful light-handedness. No sloganeering flag-and-fist waving here, but rather portrait-&-story songs about human beings, real and imagined, which allow us to step back from the issues they tackle, be they individual or societal, and to relate to them as we would to a close friend.

On stage, she entertains, amuses, provokes, and more often than not, takes her audiences on an emotional roller coaster, from comedy to pathos in a few bars of music, often within the same song.

Concert begins at 6:30PM, Doors Open 6PM

Fall Concerts at Fruitlands are seated concerts that take place under the event tent. With tent coverage these events are able to move forward rain or shine.
