Long before Katy Perry was playing gay for MTV airplay, Jill Sobule turned her 1995 single “I Kissed a Girl” into an unlikely hit from an actually bisexual artist. Since then, Sobule has continued to turn out excellent folk-pop tunes with a sardonic storytelling edge. Just give a listen to the lilting Americana and looking-back musings on her most recent album, the excellently reviewed “Nostalgia Kills,” or lend your ear to her latest topical, country-twinged ditty, “You Better Not F**k in Texas,” which takes aim at restrictive anti-abortion laws in the Lone Star State. And then, afterwards, pucker up for an evening with one of the LGBTQ community’s quirkiest and cleverest (and most lovable) musicians.
