I missed the Super Bowl this year because my girlfriend and I went to New York City to see Jenny Lewis play. Well worth it. She played in an old synagogue on the lower east side. The place only held two or three hundred people, and Jenny kicked ass as expected.
We were surprised how good her opening act was. M. Ward, who produced some songs on Jenny's new album, came out with just a guitar and some revolving guest musicians. He was amazing. Great voice and great playing. It didn't hurt that a few of those guest musicians were Conor Oberst and My Morning Jacket's Jim James.
We wanted to get a bite to eat before the show, so we walked into this place called Katz's Deli. Turns out it was the "I'll have what she's having" deli from When Harry Met Sally.
Here's Spin Magazine's online review of the show.
