Jeffrey Lewis is a prolific singer-songwriter, comic book artist, and a luminary in the anti-folk scene, known for his sharp lyrics, endearing storytelling, and lo-fi aesthetics. Born on November 20, 1975, in New York City, Lewis grew up in a creative environment that shaped his artistic inclinations. Since the late 1990s, he has crafted an eclectic discography that weaves together elements of folk, punk, and indie rock, all conveyed with his distinct, deadpan vocal style.

Lewis's work is characterized by a combination of autobiographical and surreal narratives, often complemented by his own illustrations. His often self-deprecating and witty songwriting delves into themes of existentialism, love, and the quirks of daily life, as showcased in albums like "A Turn in the Dream-Songs" and "Bad Wiring." An active figure in the New York anti-folk scene, Lewis not only gained a following for his musical talents but also for his graphic work, particularly his "Fuff" comic series. With releases like "Works By Tuli Kupferberg (1923-2010)," he also demonstrates a reverence for his influences, paying tribute to other notable artists through his music and art. An authentic voice in a world of contrived musical acts, Jeffrey Lewis continues to captivate audiences with his unique blend of storytelling, art, and melody, fostering a dedicated fan base around the world.
