Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage @ Queen Elizabeth Hall

**Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage @ Queen Elizabeth Hall**

**New York’s Jeffrey Lewis is here to amp things up with mind-spinning indie-rock-folk and an unmistakable way with words.**

Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage’s brilliant style of scuzzy urban indie-rock-folk, is like a 21st century mash-up of Sonic Youth, Pete Seeger and Robert Crumb.

The songwriter and comic book artist began developing his sound by recording homemade cassettes in New York City in 1998. Since then, he’s signed with Rough Trade Records and brought his critically acclaimed, unusual and word-dense songs to countless gigs all over the world, and has opened for icons like the Mountain Goats, Daniel Johnston and Pulp.

With or without bandmates Lewis wrings folksy spiel and garage bohemianism from his ramshackle guitar, while incorporating his often politically subversive visual artwork and cartoons into live appearances.

The current 4-piece touring line-up of Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage includes Mallory Feuer on violin and keyboard, Kait Pelkey on bass and Brent Cole (Moldy Peaches) on drums.

*The ticket price includes a £2 venue restoration levy.*
