Jenny Lewis Recruits Shabazz Palaces, Bethany Cosentino, And More For ‘Joy’All’ Ball Tour Support
The run will begin on November 27 in Ventura, California.
Having just completed support on the 20th Anniversary Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie co-headlining tour, Jenny Lewis has announced the lineup of special guests that will be joining her on the Joy’All Ball Tour this fall.
Lewis will be making a triumphant return to the road in support of her new album Joy’All—out now on Blue Note/Capitol Records. Shabazz Palaces, Bethany Cosentino, La Lom, and Logan Ledger are all confirmed to be opening on select dates of the Joy’All Ball Tour.
Back in September, Lewis teamed up with Vevo for a live performance of her track “Cherry Baby,” which is featured on Joy’all.
Joy’All, defined as “a feeling of great pleasure and happiness,” is the fifth solo album from Jenny and follow up to 2019’s critically acclaimed On The Line. The album finds the singer-songwriter embarking on a new era, in a new town—and on a new label, as she joins the iconic roster of Blue Note/Capitol Records.
“I started writing some of these songs on the road, pre-pandemic…and put them aside as the world shut down,” Jenny said in a statement about Joy’All, “And then from my home in Nashville in early 2021, I joined a week-long virtual workshop with a handful of amazing artists, hosted by Beck. The challenge was to write one song every day for seven days, with guidelines from Beck. The guidelines would be prompts like ‘write a song with 1-4-5 chord progression,’ ‘write a song with only cliches,’ or ‘write in free form style.’”
Joy’All pulls from a bounty of sonic inspiration–from classic soul to 90s R&B, as well as country and classic singer-songwriter records. CLASH applauded “Cherry Baby” in particular as “a seductive ode to falling in love all over again, the lyrics talk about initial flirtation, and how this time—maybe—it’ll be different.”
