Tori Amos - Tear in Your Hand Alison Moyet - Blow Wind, Blow, entire Voice album, esp. Man I Love, and Cry Me a River Wendy and Lisa - This is the Life Lone Justice - You are the Light Happy Rhodes - I'm Not Awake, I'm Not Asleep, and Winter - more for the fact that hearing Happy's full range makes me happy, rather than any specific lyrics Veda Hille - Precious Heart Vienna Teng - Lullaby for a Stormy Night Melissa Etheridge - Watching You Yazoo - Midnight Everything but the Girl - Don't Let the Teardrops Rust Your Shining Heart Julia Fordham - Love Moves (in Mysterious Ways) Victoria Williams - You R Loved The Pretenders - I'll Stand by You Jeff n.r.

Here is a little clip from the recent "Universal Thump" tour of Europe, filmed at the 12 Bar in London on March 23 - a cover of James Reyne's (Australian Crawl) song "Reckless": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6BO8VLnzEA Greta xo UPCOMING SHOWS IN NYC, USA: * SATURDAY, MAY 9 - 8pm UNION HALL 702 Union Street Brooklyn, NY 11215 http://www.unionhallny.com/events/index.php Opening for THE SNOW, featuring Pierre de Gaillande and Hilary Downes. http://www.myspace.com/thesnowmusic * SUNDAY, MAY 10 - 9pm CITY WINERY* 155 Varick Street, NYC 10013 http://www.citywinery.com/ Opening for David Bridie - http://www.davidbridie.com.au/succumb/?page_id=2 Seven time ARIA award winning songwriter and composer, international soundtrack composer, producer, lyricist, leading expert on Pacific music, uniquely Australian songwriter and singer, Bridie has certainly stamped his mark. As lead vocalist, keyboard player, co-composer and co-producer of critically acclaimed band Not Drowning, Waving, David built a world-wide reputation. With My Friend The Chocolate Cake, David ventured on a different musical journey, an all acoustic outfit, teaming up with cellist Helen Mountfort. * City Winery is the brainchild of Michael Dorf, founder of the iconic Knitting Factory, who wanted to create a space in Manhattan where he could combine his shared passions for wine and music. Tickets for the Show Are Available Here: http://www.citywinery.com/cart?product_id=16656 * FRIDAY, MAY 29 - 7pm BROOKLYN SOCIETY FOR ETHICAL CULTURE Good Coffeehouse Music Parlour 53 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn 11215 http://www.bsec.org/8743/8722.html Adults: $10 | Kids: $6 For this show, I will be performing duo with Adam D Gold (drums, guitar, vocals, laptop) and we will be previewing songs that we are recording for "The Universal Thump".

With Professor Louie (myspace.com/professorlouie) is a spoken-work performer/political rapper who, along with percussionist Fast eddie, has called a genius by Pete Seeger, the phenomenon known as Professor Louie grew out of the 1960's radical theater group The Pageant Players and evolved via guerilla solo performances in the streets and parks NYC in the early 1980s. * TUESDAY, JUNE 23 JOE'S PUB - 7pm 425 Lafayette Street, NYC Chamber/Song Collaboration with Build, a Brooklyn-based indie-classical band led by composer/violinist Matt McBane which Steve Smith described in Time Out New York as ?a new quintet that straddles the increasingly permeable line between chamber music and instrumental rock.? http://www.myspace.com/buildbuildbuild Instead of the usual separate-sets double bill, Build?s compositions and songs from "The Universal Thump" will be woven amongst each other.

While targeted as a children's album, it really is no different than any Jewel album, but perhaps focusing on the more quiet songs. Some great old songs from early Innerchange Days appear on it (All the Animals, Sov Gott - Swedish song). Actually those liking her more folksy, stripped down arrangements with occassional strings should like this album. Here's the track listing: 1. Raven 2. All the Animals 3. Sweet Dreams (original--not a Eurythmics cover) 4. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star 5. Circle Song 6. The Cowboy's Lament 7. Daydream Land 8. Sov Gott (Sleep Well) 9. Dreamer 10. Forever and a Day (Always) 11. Gloria 12. Somewhere Over the Rainbow 13. Angel Standing By 14. Simple Gifts 15.
