Jenny Lewis is happy to announce a nationwide headlining spring and summer tour. The dates kick off May 27th in Santa Cruz, CA and run through July 9th in Salt Lake City.

This tour will support Jenny’s internationally acclaimed solo album Acid Tongue, the follow-up to her classic solo debut Rabbit Fur Coat. Rolling Stone called Acid Tongue “excellent,” lauding Lewis as “indie rock’s most sharp-elbowed songwriter, a crafter of taut meditations on love, sex and politics that are full of violent emotions and, occasionally, plain old violence,” and Pitchfork has called the album “immediately pleasurable, brimming over with hooks and songwriting techniques that announce themselves with openness and surety.” The next single from Acid Tongue is “See Fernando.”

Lewis is also proud to announce the forthcoming film “Welcome to Van Nuys.” The documentary film records the making of Acid Tongue and features the live tracking of several songs from the record as well as behind-the-scenes, candid footage from the recording at Sound City Studio in Van Nuys, CA. The film will be released soon with screenings to be announced shortly.
