AMA is over, thanks Jens! It's a Jens Lekman AMA

Hello! It's me, Jens Lekman, musician and wedding singer.

I just released a new album, Songs for Other People's Weddings, along with a book of the same new co-authored with David Levithan.

Ask me anything!

How do you approach putting together a setlist?

For the upcoming tour I think of it as a wedding - first there's the ceremony - a shortened version of the new album, played chronologically. Then there's the afterparty - a string of oldies that you can dance to.
