Jenny Lewis has collaborated with pretty much every musician known to man. Okay, I’m being hyperbolic, but the latest pairing of Lewis and her Scottish singer-songwriter boyfriend Johnathan Rice makes a whole lot of sense.
Rice and Lewis met when he joined Lewis’ touring band back in 2006 for her debut album Rabbit Fur Coat, and he’s been extensively involved in the production in all of her music since then. So we know they obvious mesh well, musically. And it certainly showed at the Starbucks Stage Monday evening – with their retro pop songs with a soul much older than the two of them.
The crowd danced along to the early Elvis Costello-esque songs while Lewis gave Rice goo goo eyes from across the stage. It was nothing less than adorable, while being completely and totally pleasing to the ears as well. It’s quite fitting that their debut album together is called I’m Having Fun Now. Not that we weren’t having fun before, but it sure helps the crowd feel the love when you can see it right there on the stage.
