We’re big Jenny Lewis fans around these parts. She rose to musical fame as one of the driving wheels behind LA band, Rilo Kiley. She later recorded two great solo albums, Rabbit Fur Coat and Acid Tongue. She’s played with a who’s who of other leading musical lights, including Postal Service, Elvis Costello, Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes, Feist and others.
The new news is that she’s teamed up with Johnathan Rice to form Jenny & Johnny. They’re hitting the road in support of their new record, I’m Having Fun Now. The first single, Scissor Runner, is available as a free download. It’s a perfect summer pop anthem to love and melody. Take a listen by clicking the music player below:
Hat tip to Nahar for the pointer. Also, here’s a free Burke.Word Johnathan Rice factoid: he’s a local boy – haling from Alexandria and a former student at Gonzaga.
