Aimee Mann & Ted Leo
Recommended
Not only is Aimee Mann alt-rock royalty, she's also got a dry sense of humor. While it might not be apparent in her somber solo work or former new wave band 'Til Tuesday, her onstage banter with Ted Leo in their collaboration the Both showcases Mann's deadpan wit. If you're unfamiliar with her musical work, you might recognize Mann from her many TV and movie cameos. Whether she's playing a toeless nihilist kidnapper in The Big Lebowski, Fred and Carrie's housecleaner in Portlandia, or doing a bit with Patton Oswalt or Paul F. Tompkins, Mann has discreetly immortalized herself in America's music and comedy landscapes. ANNA McCLAIN Admission to this special event is not included with the standard festival pass.
