Jeffrey Lewis is a musician from the Lower East Side of Manhattan who followed in the tradition of NYC’s “anti-folk” movement. He writes songs that come from his observations of the changing world around him. In the last 25 years he has released over 35 albums’ worth of material- including collaborations with the likes of Kimya Dawson, Diane Cluck, and Peter Stampfel. Here, Jeffrey speaks with guest host Jack Habegger about his musical beginings, writing comics, family, collaborating with the History Channel, and his unlikely friendship with the late indie rock hero David Berman.
