Jenny Lewis (c. 2014).

Jennifer Diane Lewis (born January 8, 1976), is an American musician and actress, best known for her work with the band Rilo Kiley and, to a lesser extent, her solo career. As a musician, she composes music, writes lyrics, sings, and plays several instruments including guitar and keyboards. Most of her songs are indie pop, but she has several songs which fit better into folk rock, and alternative country. The bulk of Lewis's acting career was as a child and teen, but she still shows up from time to time in movies and TV shows.

Personal

I first saw Jenny Lewis in the movie The Wizard, but I became more interested in her when an online friend told me about her music with Rilo Kiley. I'm usually wary of actors-turned-musicians, but I began to like what I heard from the four songs the band made available online, and started buying their albums and seeing them in concert. I own most of the albums that predominately feature Jenny and have seen her in concert about seven times, and talked to her a couple of times. She's always been very pleasant.
