Jillith Fair - Loving Jill Sobule Jill Sobule’s work was at once deeply personal and socially conscious, seriously funny and derisively tragic. In a dozen albums spanning three decades of recording, the Denver-born songwriter/guitarist/singer tackled such topics as the death penalty, anorexia nervosa, shoplifting, reproduction, the French Resistance, adolescent malaise, LGBTQ issues, and the Christian Right. Her hits include “I Kissed A Girl”—the first openly gay-themed song ever to crack the Billboard Top 20—and the alt-rock anthem “Supermodel” featured in the film Clueless. Sobule was one half of The Jill & Julia Show, providing music while actor Julia Sweeney contributed storytelling. Jill was considered a pioneer in crowdfunding and constantly explored and creating new models for artists in an ever-changing music industry. Jill’s latest record, F*ck 7th Grade - Original Cast Recording was released on her own Pinko Records label on June 6th, 2025 - digital only (a physical release will get scheduled as soon as her estate is out of probate hell). Her theater credits included a musical adaptation of the Broadway classic Yentl, Prozak and the Platypus, and Times Square. In November of 2019 Jill sang a song as herself on an episode of the Simpsons. F*ck 7th Grade ran off-Broadway for four (4) runs in three (3) years and gained a New York Times Critics Pick. Drama Desk nominated this autobiographical musical, which premiered at the Wild Project in 2022; had a reboot in the Winter of 2023 - and ran again for three weeks in 2024. Also on June 6th of 2025, Rhino Records released her self-titled Atlantic Records album on red vinyl for the first time - to time with Pride Month! Last year marks the album’s 30th Anni
