We are heartbroken to hear the news of the passing of Jill Sobule on May 1, 2024. A beloved singer-songwriter, fearless truth-teller, and tireless activist, Jill left an indelible mark on music and on all of us who were inspired by her wit, courage, and compassion.
From her breakout hit “I Kissed a Girl” to her deeply personal and political storytelling, Jill challenged conventions, uplifted communities, and never stopped speaking truth to power. Her music was a mirror and a megaphone — playful, poignant, and powerfully human.
To honor her memory, we invite you revisit KGNU’s special radio tribute to Jill Sobule, hosted by Doug Gertner on October 15, 2024. This program will celebrate Jill’s extraordinary life, her boundary-pushing artistry, and her lifelong dedication to justice, inclusion, and joy.
Thank you, Jill, for the songs, the laughter, and the fierce love. You will always be a part of our soundtrack.
