Jenny Lewis’s Night of a Thousand (Indie Rock) Stars
Tonight Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins played the Angel Orensanz Foundation on the Lower East Side of NYC, and thanks to Nora, I got to go. The venue, which was originally built for use as a synagogue, had a beautiful, majestic feel–making it the spot to showcase the pretty song-styling talents of J.Lew.
M.Ward opened the show and brought on both Jim James (of My Morning Jacket) and Conor “Bright Eyes” Oberst to help him with some songs. During Jenny’s set, her boyfriend Johnathan Rice played guitar and she brought Matt Ward back on stage to sing with her.

[...] So back on Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins playing the Angel Orensanz Foundation last night. After an entire line of freezing indie fans watched an attempted car-break in (and a chase down by the cops), they finally let the crowd into AOF. The space was filled with lovely warm colored lighting, rich purples , reds and oranges. Twinkling white stars were projected onto the ceiling. The doors were left open all the way until the show started around 8pm, leaving a mighty big chill in the venue, so everyone was sitting down huddled together in their winter coats. [...]
I was Googling pics of Jenny and came across yours. Just wanted to say LUCKY that you got to go to that show! But more, the pictures are gorgeous and perfect for her set. Is it ok if I use one for a blog I write for featuring up and coming artists? Please e-mail me and let me know. Thank you! You can check out the blog at spotlightthe.blogspot.com -Katherine
