Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks :-) This is just a reminder of two Jewel appearances on television in the USA (no idea about Canadian broadcasts). One is a repeat, one is brand spankin' new. All times are eastern USA time.....please check your local listings for other time zones Repeat television appearance: Tuesday 3/2 at 11:00am and 6:00pm on Comedy Central (a cable TV network) - A repeat of Saturday Night Live from May 1997 with Jewel as the musical guest (John Goodman host). This is a one hour show so I don't know if they will show both of her songs from that night. The first song was Who Will Save Your Soul using the same band she used three nights before when she taped the MTV Unplugged special. In this performance a saxophone solo by Josh Redman was quite prevalent and certainly spurred a lot of list discussion. The second song was You Were Meant For Me. Please note there is another episode of Saturday Night Live on at 10:00pm ET Tuesday night, but this one does NOT have Jewel on it.....it's a different episode. NEW television appearance/profile: Tuesday 3/2 at 10:30pm on MTV - the long awaited "BIOrhythm #307" - a half hour program with a profile of "Jewel told with music and pictures" This will be repeated at : 12:00 noon on Wednesday 3/3 at 6:30pm on Thursday 3/4 at 3:00pm on Friday 3/5 at 12:30am Friday night/Saturday am at 7:30pm on Saturday 3/6 Again, these are eastern USA times, please check your local listings for other time zones.

Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Howdy all! Just a brief rundown of the Jewel performance on the 25/2/99 at the Palais theatre in Melbourne. First off we had the support act..........very nice. About 25 minutes later STEVE came on and charmed all with his cowboy like antics. He had even wrote a song upon arriving into Melbourne, it was really cute. Halfway through another of his songs (from the Album "One Left Shoe" I think) Jewel appeared and began to sing with him! I simply couldn't believe Jewel was right there! Jewel and Steve sang together for a good (or should that be fantastic) 10 minutes, before she disappeared. Steve finished on a song about a prostitute (which was very funny) and then he was gone. 15 minutes later, she was back! First off she sang the precious Near You Always, and then the first three from Spirit. I was concerned that she was going to just perform Spirit from start to finish! But that was not the case. For the next hour I sat there mesmerized by her voice and guitar. Before playing YWMFM she told the Whale Watching Story (I'm sure you've all heard it). She read some of her poetry from people who threw their copies of A Night without Armour on stage (one nearly hit her in the leg). Towards the end Jewel and the band played an almost Pearl Jam esque version of Who Will Save Your Soul (It was heavy, but not too heavy) with a great guitar solo. It was great to watch especially when the drummers sticks snapped under the pressure. The Final song was Angel Standing By. I was shaking in awe it was that powerful and emotional. Jewel: She took me from giggles to tears in just under two hours! Phil, Angel in the rainy city.

Anyways Jewel spoke to me about 5 times during the concert!!! When she needed the page number of the Vietnam War poem she did on Oprah and I screamed out "68!!" She goes "68, (finds the poem) holy cow you're psychotic!!". Then she was like is this the it? "I go yeah it is" she said "okay sorry" in that voice she puts on to fake she's hurt..it's sooo adorable. Then she goes "I love this!!" that was cool!! And she was looking for a poem and she couldn't find it...she goes "c'mon wheres my little sicko fan" I just cracked up laughing!! Then I go "look in the index Jewel" She goes "I'm looking in the index, thank you! I'm may be blonde but I'm smart, not smart enough to find it though!" OH I loved every second of the concert she was soo funny!!!! And she told me to be quiet and not to spoil the meaning of her 'whale watching' story coz I screamed out You Were Meant For Me!! She goes "don't you give it away over there, you snitch over there" And talked to me heaps of other times. I taped it all, and I'm listening to it now...damn she was AWESOME!!! Jewel signed my tshirt!!!!!! and Steve signed my singlet top And I got to hug Steve and he knows my name and I shook his hand...I was sooo excited!! Steve is just the most sincere adorable sweetest guy ever!!! Oh i helped Jewel out on the words to Satellite too...that was funny :)) The whole audience and Jewel were laughing at me. It was sooo funny!! She was singing along going "there's a pretty lady..." strumming her guitar looking cute but very silly coz she'd obviously forgotten the words, and I screamed out "in a bikini" so she goes in a bikini and laughs and they bit "she's trying to....umm something about dreams" "mend her dreams" I scream out, she sings that and giggles again :)) It was soooo funny!!! I'm sure there's more but I'm too tired to remember right now so I better go to sleep now and I've certainly babbled for LONG enough but I hope ya'll enjoyed my sorta concert review, well my highlights of the concert for me anways :) Take care Angels, Louise, "one of the kindest HAPPIEST Angels" "In the end only kindness matters" - Jewel ------------------------------ From owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Mon Mar 1 21:24:29 1999 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/jewelq-jane) id VAA13617 for jewel-news-outgoing; Mon, 1 Mar 1999 21:23:04 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199903020223.VAA13617@smoe.org> Date: Sat, 27 Feb 1999 03:05:26 +1100 From: Slutzkin family To: jewel-news@smoe.org Subject: Jewel-News: Jewel's First Australian Concert Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk I attended Jewel's first Aussie show last Thursday evening (25th of Feb), at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, and thought that it was fantastic. The show was opened by a local Aussie, who I think was Lou Bennett?, but I'm not quite sure on her name. After a 15 minute break, Steve Poltz came on and sang a few of his songs, including one that he had written since arriving in Melbourne, that got a laugh out of most people, and was enjoyed by all. He also sang two duets with Jewel, before it was 'her turn' to come on - Impala and I Thought I Saw You Last Night - which surprised everyone, and were both great. Then after another 15 minute break, Jewel came on. She had the full band with her - Steve Poltz, Steve George, Doug Pettibone, Tony Hall and Brady Blade. She was on for about two hours, in which she sang most of the songs on Spirit, as well as a few from Pieces of You and a couple not on either album. About half way through, the band left the stage, and Jewel got an audience member to throw up 'A Night Without Armour'. She then read out some of her poems, being advised which ones to read, and what pages they were on by some of the audience members! As well as this, before hearing "You Were Meant For Me", we got the whole story about Jewel and Steve travelling to Mexico. It was a really great concert. I was surprised at how heavy a lot of the songs were, with the guitars, bass and drums a lot heavier than on the album. I'd expected it to sound more like the live version of "Who Will Save Your Soul" on Spirit, but I really liked the way it sounded live, and hope that Jewel will bring out a live album or video or something, as listening to the Cd just doesn't do the same thing as hearing it all live. The lighting effects all through the concert was fantastic, with different patterns, colours and angles that the light came from. The encore was I think 'Angel Standing By' and the last song she played was 'Absence of Fear'. Despite lots more clapping and cheering, that was it, and I left with the feeling that I had heard something very special. Sorry if I got some of the song orders wrong - others who went might be able to give the correct order - I was too absorbed in the whole show to remember it exactly. If you've got the chance to go to one of her concerts, don't pass it up, or you'll regret it. - -Bec ------------------------------ From owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Tue Mar 2 18:17:16 1999 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/jewelq-jane) id SAA19842 for jewel-news-outgoing; Tue, 2 Mar 1999 18:16:29 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199903022316.SAA19842@smoe.org> Date: Tue, 2 Mar 1999 16:52:45 EST From: ABershaw@aol.com To: jewel-news@smoe.org Subject: Jewel-News: MrBB-"Down So Long" Video Premiers THIS THURSDAY!

Anyway, it's only about a paragraph or so, but it has a pretty kewl picture of Nedra and Jewel looking at a portrait of a blond girl (presumably Jewel and presumably painted by Nedra.) The second mention is in a aritcle about the state of the "rock star" as an icon today. And Stephen Malkmus of Pavement lists JEWEL as his favorite present rock star. Pretty kewl, right?

The calendar, headline news & rumor/truth sections have now been updated. You may want to check www.jeweljk.com for most current accurate info or if you've missed this weeks postings. The Japan/S.E. Asia tour dates are now up more accurately. I know many of the European EDAs are confused about their tour dates posted on Atlantic's site. They are still in the process of putting that swing of the tour together. With the exception of the UK dates & The Pink Pop Festival, none of those dates are confirmed & all are subject to change! That's why we haven't included them yet on Jewel's site. We do care about you but we want to give you accurate information. NOT speculation which only confuses everyone even more. As soon as those dates are confirmed & venues booked, I'll definitely let you know both here & on the website. Those dates are still more than two months away & theres plenty of time. Also, several have mentioned the AOL browser isn't working well on the website in the past 24 hours. We are aware of this. It's related to some changes on our end & will be fixed up soon. I experienced the same thing on my AOL browser but its working perfectly with Netscape. Should be running perfectly for everyone soon. I know many of you are extremely curious to see the new "Down So Long" video. Just another reminder that it'll premiere tommorrow at approximately 3:30PM EST on MTV. Then it should be on quite a bit & easy to catch from there on out. Also, don't forget the VH1 "Jewel Rockin The Rockies" special premiering on Saturday night at 9:00PM EST. And "Jewel Day" on Australian MTV on Sunday. ( More OZ concert reviews & setlist postings please! ) Finally, a shot in the dark...

It's a true story from Saturday evening in Melbourne, Australia. Enjoy! MrBB The Jewel Experience By Todd Lynch It was a typical Saturday night at Fenians Pub with a small but growing crowd. The punters were hanging around to watch us, Not Enough Rope, play with our usual form and sharing a few pints of Guinness with friends. However, for this story to continue, I would have to say that the night went on to be a most unusual evening indeed. It would be a night remembered by all members of Not Enough Rope, the punters and staff of Fenians. I was playing the accordion in my usual style and it was getting towards the end of the last set when I noticed this girl staring at me. I looked back at her thinking to myself that I had seen her face somewhere before. It was a pretty common thing for me; we play so many gigs there is always someone who you see a couple of times. In any case, this girl was with a couple of other guys and one of them came up to me as we were half way through our second last song. He asked me in this great American accent if we were playing for much longer, and I said to him that we had one more song after this one. He said that was great and asked if we minded if they got up and played a couple of songs (referring to the people he was with). This is also not an unusual thing to happen to our band. There always seems to be some drunken would be if he could be who wants to have a go after we finish. This guy may have seen the look of disappointment on my face - I don't know - but he very quickly stated that he was with Jewel and they would really appreciate it if they could get up and play a couple of songs. It was at this point I realised who I had been staring at. Jewel the singer, had been watching us for a good part of the evening and now wanted to play on our stage, using our instruments. Of course I had absolutely no hesitation what so ever to say of course you can play after we finish. I later found out I was talking to Steve Poltz who was Jewel's support and guitarist on her tour. So we finished our gig and hopped off stage to meet Jewel and her band (at this stage no one in the pub knew what was going on, and people were starting to leave). We all introduced ourselves and they asked us again to make sure it was okay to get up and play. With all that sorted out, we got up on stage and introduced the crowd to Jewel. It certainly didn't take very long for the crowd to realise what was about to happen. We had Steve Poltz on acoustic guitar, Doug Pettibone on bass guitar, Felix on drums, and Jewel at centre stage on the microphone. Jewel and Steve started out singing a duet together in great harmonies. The sound was completely mind blowing and blended with the Fenians atmosphere. The crowd was pumped with absolute awe knowing that they were getting their own personal performance. The place was rockin'. Jewel played a total of four songs (I can't remember their titles), but she did play "Down For So Long" which is the fifth track off her current album 'SPIRIT'. She finished off the evening in usual style with the folk song her father taught her -a yodel. I tell you now that this girl has an amazing voice. By the end of the song, the crowd and her band were cheering her on and the applause filled the air. Jewel sat down and finished with a few quiet drinks with her band as the crowd fumbled for drink coasters and a pen to retrieve her autograph. The impromptu gig was small and intimate but an absolute huge success. The crowd thanked Jewel for her performance and slowly walked home in total disbelief that they had just been blessed with the Jewel experience. To Jewel, Steve, Doug and Felix - on behalf of everyone that night - we thank you.

Here is a review of the 25/2/99 Jewel concert taken from 'Inpress' Magazine here in Melbourne, a free circulated street press. (This review is *not* my own personal opinion! I don't agree with most of it!) Dave - Aussie Angel >From 'Inpress' Magazine 3/3/99 (reprinted without permission - so sue me!): - -------------------------------------------------------------- Jewel/Steve Poltz (Palais Theatre) "Thursday: 'Whatcha doin' tonight, man?' 'Well - I'm going to see Jewel.' Friday: 'Hey man,watcha do last night?' 'Went to see Steve Poltz'" "Who is this bouncy, throaty, super hansome young man with a guitar that had us eating out of his hand? They're love songs, they're awfully sincere and sad, but also heartbreakingly funny. From 'Forbidden Fruit', the story of a one nighter with a prostitute, the highlight of his 'One Left Shoe' album and tonight's exceptional set: 'We sat down on her floor/Connected like a human train/I talked on and on about my life/Her interest she just feigned.' No matter if it was with the slightly strained rasp in which he sings, or the easy, deep roll in which he introduced his songs, Poltz's every word saw his flirty grin reciprocated by a thousand people with a brand new crush. Even when his last couple of songs saw him joined on stage by backing vocalist Jewel, it was all eyes on Poltz. A wonderful surprise." "Jewel could best be described as a frustrating performer. A set dominated by bland, overdone radio rock was punctuated by a couple of truly compelling moments. These good bits owed much thanks to Jewel's voice, and very little to her songwriting. Definitely the least credit must go to her personality, which was inflicted upon us in great lashings tonight. I never realised how annoying the characters of 'Friends' were until tonight I saw one of them when they were not being funny. One of Jewel's cute little stories in particular would have put a Metallica bass solo to sleep, as she cutely described her reaction to each of about a hundred and two situations by saying 'So then I'm just like...' and pulling a cute little face. Totally. Before one song which she claimed to have not played for a while, she warned she may forget the words. At the end of the first verse, she did. It was so awfully endearing and cute that she went on to forget three other lines in the same song. This went down so well that later on she forgot the words to another song. Just when you're deciding just exactly which expletive to scream at the top of your lungs, she cuts the shit, tells the band to take five and actually sings. What an incredible voice - even a song as plain and overladen with pretense as 'Foolish Games' can be redeemed by this woman's amazing vocal talent. But, to our immense frustration, we only heard it a few times - either she was smothered by her over-populated band (Radiohead needed less players to reproduce 'OK Computer', and we're running through the equivalent of Melissa Etheridge B-sides here), or instead of singing songs she was just blathering on. And on."

After a brief hiatus due mostly to travelling board members, the EveryDay Angels Foundation weekly newsletter is back! We have a lot of surprises and events planned for the spring, including more work with the Second Harvest FoodBank network and beach conservation groups. Also, some of you may have read James Murga's post about an EDAF article published in Smile Magazine.

The EveryDay Angels Foundation, a non-profit charity organization, created by Jewel fans, are making sure that dream comes true. The organization formed by an Internet discussion group on the musician. Before Jewel became a household name, a core group of her fans were regularly attending her performances. Jewel called these fans "everyday angels" in reference to a song from her first album. In early 1997, this group of fans decided to get Jewel a present for her upcoming birthday. She asked instead that they redirect their energies by helping people in need. They've been going strong ever since! To learn more about the organization visit their webpage at www.everydayangels.org or www.edaf.org. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Anyone who wants a hard copy of the magazine can find it at most Barnes & Noble Superstores (the ones that have coffee bars inside). It's the April issue, and it also has a review of Jewel's "Spirit" CD. We anticipate a lot more media coverage over the next year, so stay tuned. For now, watch for upcoming posts regarding events, announcements, and the official opening of membership. And if you have any stories to share about volunteer work you're doing or any other particularly angelic thoughts, by all means send them along and we'll post them in future newsletters!

Poltzie had the theatre in tears long before the emergence of Jewel, then with their carry on singing together it just got better. They had some problem with an amp so Steve had to sing longer then he usually does, what a crackup!!! He got a couple up on stage and had them slow dancing while he sang a love song and drank wine he had been given, interesting enough Jewel had a swig also when she appeared (I thought she didn't drink?!?), so did the couple dancing, well actually they have several glasses each. Steve kissed the girl and the crowd went mad, then he sang some more before he made out to shake hands with the bloke but actually pulled him close and kissed him, as you can imagine everyone just went off, I'm sure after this performace he will have a following in Adelaide, he actually said he liked Adelaide as the weather was the same as san diego. (probably says that everywhere) Then our gal appeared; Jewel won everyone over and sung 19 songs during her set. She wore a black tank top number and blue denim jeans, very nice (Poltzie said as much also). Jewel really got into it with a nine minute version of WWSYS, amazing, that girl has some talent folks. Then when she sang angel standing by, there was not a noise bar her voice (and guitar), the girl next to me started crying, her friend put her arm around her and they cried together. Jewel sang all up for over 110 minutes and everybody was on there feet swaying there arms above there heads, clapping, cheering everything that she done. She really looked to be enjoying herself and at one stage splashed the contents of her water bottle out over all the people in the front few rows. People were yelling out "I love you Jewel" and she responded "I love you too", then she said lets get all the comments out of the way and they did, then this guy yells out when all was quiet again "your a horn bag jewel", the crowd just went wild, Jewel was bent over in laughter and told him "please don't embarrass the artist", but then proceeded to ask him for a song request. You know on the CD's you think her voice is amazing, but really they don't do it justice; the power, control, angelic sounding of it is truely remarkable, I was a little disappointed at first that there was only going to be the one gig in Adelaide, but last night would have been very hard to top and I'm very grateful that I had the opportunity to see both Jewel and Steve, I hope they come this way again soon. Jewel came on stage a little after 9pm and sang with steve for the first 20 minutes, then it was all Jewel until about 11-15 or so, I wish it could have gone on longer, but as they say "all good things must come to an end", she did sing without a break all that time with passion and with the apparent interest of someone who hadn't sung those songs as many times that she has, a credit to her, it must be hard to keep singing the songs with huge amounts of feeling time after time, but Jewel appears to do it with ease. two encores including a memorable version of "Chime Bells", again everyone went wild at hearing this , hardly any of them had heard in before and everyone was clapping and cheering all the way throught it, Jewel said we were the best crowd so far on tour, I think she genuinely meant it also. But the look on the peoples faces after Jewel went off stage and there amazement at hearing Chime Bells, it was unbelievable, she really won over Adelaide and made a lot of new fans here, as did Steve. Everyone I spoke to afterward thought the concert was fantastic, they hadn't seen or heard Jewel like that only how she is on the albums, I guess we're all very lucky we have angelfood. They make a great entertaining couple and if you have the chance, don't miss them. There was heaps more I was going to write but it would get ridicuously long so I'll wrap it up here, overall a very fine performance and well worth going to see. Just on the merchandise, there was no tour diary :-(, but 5 or 6 t-shirts, a Jewel Journal, sticker, hat, tank top, her book, an envelope with 4 or 5 pics in it, a poster, I'm sure there was other stuff but I forget now. I did buy a Steve Poltz t-shirt and the guy said it was only the second one sold for the night, so if you are getting merchandise people be sure to get a Steve Poltz t-shirt, he was suprised to see I had a Steve Poltz CD with me and said Poltzie would be impressed, I didn't get a chance to get it autographed but. Price wise; the t's where $35, the book $30, envelope of pics $15 (good pictures). I got a Jewel "spirit" world tour t-shit also very nice, I would have like to have gotten Jewel to autograph it but it wasn't to be, I'm not sure if she hung around to sign autographs or not. Following is the set list: Steve:(40 minute set) I love ya, you know I do (Maybe called something else) The ABC's of love Ten chances (new song written here in oz) When in Adelaide (something he made up) Oh good morning I miss wakin' up with you Star Wars Song (written in Oz) great song, real crack up!!!! Paint the town Waterfalls (TLC's number, brilliant!!) Tree huggers song. Jewel's & Steve (20 minutes) My body is changing (Jewel & Steve, Acoustic) I thought I saw you (jewe& steve, acoustic) Fly to me angel (jewel, acoustic) Love is a rose (jewel & steve, acoustic) Jewel's set: (90 minutes) Near you always (acoustic) Deep Water (band) Whats simple is true (band) Hands (band) Jupiter (band) YWMFM (acoustic, steve played guitar) Some times it be that way (acoustic) Morning song (acoustic) Cold song (acoustic) Life uncommon (band) Barcelona (band) Foolish games (piano) Down (a classic, very heavy band, hard to hear the words in parts) Down so long (band) Love me just Leave Me Alone (band, heavy also) WWSYS (band, heavy, 9 minute version) 1st Encore Absence of fear (acoustic) 2nd Encore Angel standing by (acoustic) Chime Bells (acoustic) there it is folks, my breif encounter with Jewel & Steve, hopefully it its one of many that will occur in the coming years!!!!.

What can I say I loved it again! What an experience twice! This time I was in the 8th row in the front stalls - much better. Steve Poltz's set was fantastic again and this time he got a familiar girl (Louise from the list!)on stage to taste some wine. I'm sure she will tell you all about it. This time he didn't play any songs with Jewel though which was a bit of disapointment. But he did play the Star Wars song! He also mentioned that he will be back in Australia very soon. Jewel's set list was similar to the first concert although she didn't play 'Kiss the Flame'. She did however, play 'Passing Time', 'Sometimes it be that Way', and 'Pieces of You' during her solo accoustic set. Near the end of the gig she got everyone to stand up and come down to the front when she played 'Down' (?!?!? *not* 'Down So Long'), 'Love Me just Leave me alone', 'Down So Long' and 'WWSYS'. We took a few piccies and I can't wait to get them developed. I also got my 'Spirit' CD signed by Jewel after the show which means now I have both CDs signed by Jewel. Will give a fuller, more proper review when all the excitement has died down! Dave - the Aussie Angel P.S.

Jewel performed at the Palais last night, and for the second time in a week, I was there to see her. The first show was more intimate, with Jewel matching the quieter crowd, while last night, with lots of younger female fans in the audience, Jewel took the tempo up a notch, playing lots of more upbeat, rock tunes, some of which were tracks that were unreleased. With half an hour to go, Jewel stopped suddenly, and decided that things weren't quite as good as they could be. She paused, and spoke "You know, this isn't right. This is meant to be like a rock concert, and you people up the back are too far away. You people in the back row, why don't you come down the front and sit in the aisles. As it was last night, I was in the back row, because I had managed to talk the box office lady to squeeze me into what actually was already a sold out show, so at the invitation from Jewel, me and this other guy I was with leapt up and moved rapidly down to the front, but no pushing of course, because this was a more gentile crowd, more refined and reserved. To push forward roughly and violently was out of place, especially in the presence of Jewel on stage. So there we were, relatively close to the front, but not as close as third row, where I was seated last Thursday week ago. So then Jewel and the band kicked into some tunes, including Down So Long, Love you but Leave me Alone and Who Will Save Your Soul, upon which the show closed on. But how could they resist, all the cheering, clapping and noise we were making, so Jewel and her keyboardist came back out, to sing the ballad Absence of Fear, a beautiful rendition of a song which, to me, is about feeling peaceful, safe, loved and wanting you, here with me, to share this moment, in the absence of fear. Jewel is so beautiful in person, it was unbelievable that she was even up there. So after Absence of Fear, Jewel went off again, but we couldn't let her go, just like that, so we all rallied, and urged her to return, which she did, to welcoming and rousing applause. The atmosphere was all there, because practically majority of the crowd were packed close up to the stage. It was after the concert finished that I realised, and felt sorry for the fans up in the balcony, who were unable to join the rest of us, up the front. Anyway, Jewel came out, by herself, picked up an acoustic guitar, and proceeded to sing, alone out there, in a mental-burning fashion, track 13 off Pieces of You, a personal favourite of mine, the song Angel Standing By. It was such a lasting image, Jewel, alone on a dark stage, with the greeny-yellowy spotlights on her, with guitar in hand, gently soaring up to the heights of the songwords, "Be there baby, telling you, you're never nothing less than beautiful!" It is something I will recall, again and again, in the future, when life will challenge me with sorrow, sadness, despair, heartache, loneliness, fear ... whenever I need her, Jewel will be there, my Angel, watching over me, ensuring that for the rest of my life, I will never truly be alone, even in my darkest moments, when I feel totally alienated, with my world crumbling around me. But hopefully that will never happen, I was just trying to express the moment to all of you, my good good friends! There were so many moments in the concert, the feeling you get, with the stage fully lit in bright orange, yellow, red lighting, and the spotlight shining out at you in the crowd, with the band in full swing, and Jewel's voice soaring above it all, "Won't somebody please hold me, release me show me, the meaning of mercy, let me Fly!" When the aching ramblings of piano came on, for the intro to Foolish Games, I didn't cry, but my eyes did moisten, and despite what you may here, or what you may think or say about the song, being there, listening to her sing, the emotion in her voice, and in her eyes, on her face, there is real pain and experience behind that song, undeniably. And the song she closed on, Chime Bells, when she began Yodelling, you could not help feeling in awe of the talent she had, and laugh and marvel at the yodelling, with all the fans packed close up the front, the sense of togetherness, all there with one focus, the golden angel Jewel up on stage, the cheering, just the feeling, was unforgettable. And not only that, but I made a new friend last night too, and heard the most amazing story you could ever hear. Like my new friend said last night, "I don't care, I don't give a f***, I am going to go to every f***ing concert Jewel does over here". This guy, Lee, has been to Tool, Metallica, Garth Brooks, Mariah Carey, Smashing Pumpkins, Silverchair and many more, but last night, far and away, no competition, Lee said that Jewel's show was fair dinkum, the best show he had ever seen. Lucky me, I got to see the greatest show on earth twice! Hope everyone who read this had the best of a day, a great night, and a top life. You are all my friends, and I thank you for your time.

It is taken from the 'Herald Sun' newspaper, which is one of two major newspapers in Melbourne. Dave - the Aussie Angel >From the 'Herald Sun' - 4/3/99 (Kindly reprinted with no permission whatsoever!) - ---------------------------------------- Q&A with Jewel Q: There were reports that you didn't like your first album 'Pieces of You'? A: No. That was exaggerated by journalists. I love my first album. I just think it's strange that it did as well as it has. It's not a slick or glossy album, but that's one of its strengths. I think people just want to be touched, whether it's by me or Celine Dion or Meatloaf. Q: Are you happy with 'Spirit', your new album? A: Albums are strange. It's like if you see me wearing this on Tuesday you'll remember that, but I might wear something different the next day. Live performances are a lot more representative of what I do. Q: Do you think you're pigeon-holed as a neo-hippie or folksy-busker type? A: I'm only 24, I'm too young to be pigeonholed. Q: Do you ever feel like you want to rock out? A: I played a lot of electric and punk stuff in my live shows in America last year. Q: You've sold over five million albums, how do you deal with your success? A: I don't think it's to be taken too seriously. How you deal with it depends on who you surround yourself with. Sometimes it's like people want you to be a bitch, it's like training a dog, the more slack you give, the more they'll try to get away with. Q: Has having money changed you? A: What do you mean by that? Q: Have you changed as a person since you became financially secure? A: Money is nice, but it's strange. It's just there in my bank, this pile of money. I don't really know what to do with it. I bought my mom and I a house, but I still have my second-hand car. But I can't explain why I've got all this money and the homeless person next to me doesn't. I think God gave me money to give to other people. Q: You've got a part in the new Ang Lee movie 'Ride With the Devil', how did that come about? A: I got the part because I was right for the part. Q: So you auditioned for it? A: Of course. Ang Lee doesn't need a pop star in his movie. He's one of the best directors in the world. Q: Are you thinking of writing another book? A: Uh-huh. I'm doing one now. Q: More poetry? A: No. A collection of short stories. It's almost done. Q: What was the last record you bought? A: I got Elvis's greatest hits. I'd never really heard his music until recently. It's beautiful. Q: When was the last time you cried? A: None of your business. - ---------------------------------------- From owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Sun Mar 7 11:10:20 1999 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/jewelq-jane) id LAA11265 for jewel-news-outgoing; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 11:10:02 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199903071610.LAA11265@smoe.org> To: Jewel@smoe.org Date: Sun, 7 Mar 1999 09:01:15 -0600 Subject: Jewel-News: Jewel's religion question in USA Weekend! From: Scott- e Sykes Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Q: On her hugely succesful CD Spirit, Jewel makes reference to faith and God in such a way that I'm sure she must be Roman Catholic. Yet I've heard nothing specific about her religion. A: That's becuase the 24-year-old singer belongs to no conventional church. She was exposed as a youth to her parents' Mormon faith, her only expreieance with organized religion. Still, her spiritual influences were many, says author P.J. McFarland, whose biography Angel Standing By is in stores. Jewel's father was a social worker who instilled a sense of doing godd; her upbringing in the vastness of Alaska gave her a sense of Godliness that drives her "quest for knowledge of things larger than herself." I was reading the paper this morning and found this article with a beautful picture of Jewel, which at first i thought resembled Gwyneth Paltrow.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks :-) This is just a repeat post from a few days ago.... On Wednesday March 10th at 11:00am and 6:00pm Eastern US time, the cable TV network Comedy Central will be repeating an episode of Saturday Night Live that had a featured sketch that parodied Jewel. (Jewel herself is NOT in this show) By the way Comedy Central also has a SNL repeat on at 2:00pm, 10:00pm and midnight eastern time, but this is NOT the same show they air at 11am and 6pm......just so you know. Anyway, since the original shows air over a 90 minute time slot and the Comedy Central reruns are trimmed to an hour, the whole episode obviously will not be shown, although a major portion of it will be as Comedy Central has less commercials per hour than Saturday Night Live does. So it is anyones' guess as to whether or not the sketch about Jewel will actually be in this rerun. Anyway, the episode originally aired on Saturday November 8th, 1997 and Jon Lovitz was the host and was in the Jewel sketch. I myself missed it when it aired and it never did repeat in the Saturday Night Live time slot, and I have no idea if Comedy Central ever aired it before. Just a warning though.....it pokes fun at Jewel the way Saturday Night Live pokes fun at a lot of celebrities....it exaggerates them, so to speak. I just read the list archives from the day after this show originally aired and while many of the EDAs were upset at the way it poked at Jewel....many laughed a lot, taking it all with a grain of salt, understanding that it is the nature of comedy. After all, a major category of comedy IS satire. So, for those of us that missed it 15 months ago, here is our chance. For those that have no clue as to what the sketch was about, and for those that have since forgotten, I will not post details about the sketch....it will be more fun watching it not knowing.

Critics scoffed when Jewel released her slender 1998 volume, A Night Without Armor, but it was Jewel who had the last laugh. The book earned her a $2 million advance and sold 500,000 copies. Next: a series of autobiographical stories due in June. This summer, she'll launch her second major tour and in September will star in director Ang Lee's Civil War drama Ride With The Devil. Jewel's foray into film is an investment in brand recognition. She's acting for scale: $576 a day.

It's been too long since anybody did this, so here's some advice to relatively new people who are usually a bit confused & by no fault of thier own, not knowledgable of the history of the EDAs or these Jewel mailing lists. First of all--WELCOME! Since the list FAQ is almost 4 years old & extremely out of date (now THERE'S a worthy project! Hint! Hint!), it's understandibly difficult for new subscribers to get a grip on all that goes on in this large community. These lists, as you can probably sense, have facilitated the developement of many personal relationships among listmembers. The EDAs have also gone beyond the boundaries of the NET & have participated in quite a few great outside projects geared toward helping others as well as meeting in larger groups at music & non-music related events. The purpose of this email is to give new folks a hand at finding the best resources to help with understanding this group called The EDAs. I promise any new person who takes the time to visit these sites, that you will enjoy the lists much more, feel right at home & be as knowledgable as most seasoned vets. (And those grumpy old vets will appreciate your effort.) I'm sure many of you new folks want to know more, but may not know how to educate yourself about the goings-on here. So here's some helpful suggestions for you. Please take the time to check these out. It's painless, I promise & actually fun. The EDA List Guide: http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup/ This website is THE BEST resource to learn about these mailing lists, basic Jewel knowledge (so you don't have to wonder about simple things or ask questions that have been answered a thousand times.) Just by knowing the content on this site, you will immediately fit in, feel much more comfortable & enjoy yourself here. REALLY! The Official Jewel Site: http://www.jeweljk.com This is Jewel's official site featuring the latest accurate news, tourdates, TV appearance info, Jewel Merchandise, Higher Ground For Humanity, Multimedia, photos & more. The best site for current information! Pieces Of Jewel: http://jewel.zoonation.com/ Adam Longfellow's incredible site is the longest running fan site & has the best & most extensive historical content of any Jewel site. (Also, for a list of over 1000 Jewel Performances check http://jewel.zoonation.com/jchrono.htm) Crashboy's EDA Page: http://thespis.com/crashboy/ This site has photos galore of various EDA gatherings all over North America. See for yourself many of the people responsible for the folklore of this list & get inspired to join in!

Inspired, created & managed by fellow listmembers who are devoting time & effort to promote activities that directly effect positive change in the world & to help focus the energy of the EDAs as a force to effect positive change. Watch for their posts & find out how you can get involved while having a lot of fun in the process! Gerritt's Jewel Page: http://www.endor.org/jewel/ Another long time site with a lot of great content as well as the best source BY FAR for finding links to all other Jewel sites. Atlantic Records: http://www.atlantic-records.com Jewel's record company's site featuring current news, contests & few complete webcasts of Jewel available. And finally, almost the entire history of this list is archived online at: http://www.smoe.org/lists/jewel/archives/ Here is the entire day to day history of this list referenced chronilogically. Not only is this a great resource for historical info, but if you are new or gone for a while, you can go here to read the past few days at any time. There's plenty more of course, but these sites in particular will definitely eleviate most of your confusion & will allow you to have a lot more fun way faster! Help everyone on the list by helping yourself to these resources. Welcome & enjoy!

It's at: http://www.joyedenharrison.com/jeh/ For folks that are unfamiliar with Joy, she's one of the most talented musicians/songwriters to emerge out of that same "InnerChange scene" that brought Jewel & Steve Poltz to the attention of the world. Back when Jewel had her regular Thursday night gig there, Joy had the same thing going on Friday nights. Many EDAs are familiar with Joy from her track ("Where Have You Gone Jimmy Dean"-with Jewel on scat vocals) from the "Innerchange Days" tapes as well as another song that Joy & Jewel wrote together called "The Man Who's Already Gone". Joy was also a featured artist on "Future Folklore Volume 3" & will be featured more extensively on "FF4" later this year. Joy has since relocated to Chicago, but continues to write & perform around the country & is currently back in the Southern California area promoting her new album. (Tour dates & info on her site) I highly encourage you to check into Joy's music. She's truly unique & an extremely captivating performer. Her newest release "Unspoken" is wonderful & my favorite release so far this year. You can sample it for free at the site. If you like, you can also order it directly there. They've added a lot of content since I first posted about Joy's site including a lot of current photos (including a few from LRT 98), sound files from "Unspoken" & current Sothwest USA Tour date info. If you are in Southern California, check out her shows! You can thank me later. ;-) This review of the album by Gerry Lipnowski says it far better than I could (follows). All the best, MrBB Listen to the 'Unspoken' California sensation Joy Eden Harrison is poised to break through to a wider audience with the release of 'Unspoken,' the long anticipated follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut 'Angel Town.' Harrison has once again created an album of great sophistication, rewarding audiences who yearn for intelligent craftsmanship and substance in their music. "So much communication occurs in what's not being said between people," Harrison says as she describes the concept of her new CD. "Listening to the unspoken brings you to a totally different level of understanding." The album's 11 original songs are populated with a rich cast of characters, many of whom are unified in what they leave unspoken - from the overt lament in "The Secret", whose protagonist has "a secret I can never tell you," to the misunderstood "Everybody's Good Time Girl", who is not the person everyone thinks she is. "Miles Davis used to say that the silences and spaces between notes are as important as what's being played," Harrison, who has recently moved to Chicago, explains. "The characters on the CD are a bit like that. What they're incapable, or unwilling, to express tells you as much about them as what they say." Compared to Angel Town's faithful and highly original take on 1920's and 30's jazz, Unspoken features a greater range of musical expression and texture, with songs that reveal more of themselves in layers with each listening. >From the opening lines of "40 Days and 40 Nights" - the first single from the album - it is Harrison's evocative voice that immediately casts a spell on the listener. Her hypnotic vocals provide the focus throughout the CD, whether it's part of a more orchestrated song such as "Leap in the Dark", or alone in the spotlight with the barely-there accompaniment in "Rubber Band". Each song displays the quiet charisma that has earned Harrison such a devoted following. The album culminates in what could be called Harrison's 'unspoken word piece,' "Yellow" - a compelling monologue that would not be out of place in a Tennessee Williams play. Rapidly becoming a fan favorite at her live performances, "Yellow" paints an impressionistic portrait of a woman who is terrified to use words. "My words are so fragile, they might break," we're told. While the songs' characters may leave a lot unspoken, the CD speaks volumes about Harrison's insight as a writer, as she displays a unique combination of vulnerability and sharpness of vision; a sensuality that is equally matched by her thought-provoking clarity. Unspoken confirms Joy Eden Harrison's reputation as an intriguing composer, gifted singer and compelling performer.

New photos under the news blurb.) While you're visiting the "news" area at the site, click over to our "featured artist" department where Steve Poltz is now currently featured. Also, I've recieved a bunch of questions about a rumor that Steve Poltz is leaving the tour. NOT TRUE! During some break time during Jewel's tour, Steve will return to Australia to do some solo dates, but he is not leaving the tour & will be on board through the Asian & European swings. We'll also soon have the setlists & fan reviews of the Australian tour on the site for your enjoyment. Please keep posting those concert reviews (& cc them to me). We only have a few & would like to feature one for each gig on the tour. We're also revamping the JewelStore to make it more user friendly & several new items (including the songbooks) will be up soon.

We want 10 EDAs who attend High School in San Diego to join us. Read on for details & instructions. Hello to any EDAs that attend High School in the San Diego area, Jewel & Nedra's humanitarian foundation Higher Ground For Humanity will soon begin the first in a series of workshops geared toward focusing the concepts & projects that they will pursue.

The workshop will take place most likely on Friday March 19th (after school hours at 4:00PM) in the Mira Mesa area & costs you nothing other than time & serious thought about: "Being The Difference That Makes A Difference". We'd like to invite 4 to 5 male EDAs & 4 to 5 female EDAs (who attend High School in San Diego) & are available to attend & participate in this workshop. If you would like to be considered for an invitation to this first HGH workshop, please send me the following information as soon as possible: Name: Age: Sex: Email Adress: home phone number: home address: High School you attend: Briefly tell us why you'd enjoy being included. PLEASE put "HGH Workshop" in the subject line of your reply so I can see it easily amongst all my email.

Thursday is the day Alex Trebek asked me about the EDAs on the little bio segment unfortunately it is also the day I lose! but at least I was champ for a day and I won a few bucks. Anyways remember, I was nervous and pretty spacey with the cameras rolling and I don't even remember what I said - so don't yell if its goofy or whatever! I havent been posting lately because I don't have a computer again right now but will get one soon. Actually I don't think I've been missing too much- it seems like there are tons of posts and not really that much going on lately, hopefully when the US tour comes around the posts will get a bit meatier.

Granted, the clip has no sound, but at least you can (kinda) see it right? The clip has plenty of shots with Jewel in it, including the infamous "breast feeding scene". Need not worry, as Mr.BB said before, the scene is tastefully done (although a somewhat close shot) and does not reveal anything of any sort. So, to all you angels who have RealPlayer, go check out the clip! For those of you who don't have RealPlayer, at least you have all the other goodies :) http://www.darkhorizons.com/1999/RideWithTheDevil.htm Enjoy, Melissa the angel who hates to drive.

(Possibly due to the large amounts of mail lately..) Jewel & Nedra's humanitarian foundation Higher Ground For Humanity will soon begin the first in a series of workshops geared toward focusing the concepts & projects that they will pursue. We would like to create a "High School Advisory Board" & we'd very much appreciate having YOU participate in this! What we're looking for over the next few days is 8 to 10 EDAs who attend High School in San Diego that would enjoy particpating in this first workshop. The workshop will take place most likely on Friday March 19th (after school hours at 4:00PM) in the Mira Mesa area & costs you nothing other than time & thought about: "Be The Difference That Makes A Difference". We'd like to invite 4 to 5 male EDAs & 4 to 5 female EDAs (who attend High School in San Diego) & are available to attend & participate in this workshop. If you would like to be considered for an invitation to this first HGH workshop, please send me the following information as soon as possible: Name: Age: Email Adress: home phone number (optional, but it makes it easier to contact you): High School you attend: Briefly tell us why you'd enjoy being included. PLEASE put "HGH Workshop" in the subject line of your reply so I can see it easily amongst all my email. All the above information will not be shared with anyone other than the HGH team running the workshop. I'll collect all eligible replies until Friday night & the HGH team will choose the EDAs to invite. Those EDAs will be contacted directly with directions & more information. I sincerely hope you will join in on this 1st HGH/EDA project. There will be many more to come.

A few shows & additional venue information will still be added so have a look periodically for accurate current updates (at www.jeweljk.com). We'll soon have some reviews (by EDAs) & accurate complete setlists on the site for those interested in these things. As the tour progresses, please keep posting reviews for everyone to enjoy here & I'll try to include the most interesting ones on Jewel's site (with the writer's permission). Also a word of advice on interesting show review posts--- describe why you liked or didn't like particular things. Don't just write "She rocked!"...... A few people have sent me reviews that need to be expanded on a bit. Basically, if your review could fit on a bumper sticker, it could use a bit more work, hehehe.... ;-) Also, I know some AOL people with 15" monitors at certain resolution settings are having trouble seeing the "black link area" under Nedra's Letter on the HGH page of the site. (There's a lot more Higher Ground information from these links.) Increasing your monitor resolution helps. If you can't increase your monitor resolution, here's a suggestion that usually works. Drag the window up on your screen so you can expand the lower portion of the window. You can also unanchor the tool bar (in preferences) to allow you to move the window up. Doing this should reveal the HGH link area that you're looking for. Watch fellow EDA Barry on Jeopardy today (Wednesday) & tommorrow (Thursday).

The interview was done the afternoon before her concert in Sydney, Australia I believe and shots of her singing were shown. I can't see whether it was the concert itself or the sound test. Interviewer: People from different cultures will listen to this song (Hands), but no matter what languages they speak, what is the one thing you hope they'll get? Jewel: Everybody has to get up in the morning and see how they're going to get through the day. If they're unhappy, if they are poor..um.. many things. So to me, this song is about how do you keep making it through the day. [a clip is shown... can't remember what the title is at the moment, and Steve Poltz is shown :)~~~~ ] Voice Over: Jewel has said that she felt that her first album could have been a better album. She insisted that there were missed chords, sub-standard singing. She wish she could do more. Jewel: It's a bit of an exaggerated mis- (can't hear what she's saying) about my first record. I like my first record, I'm proud of it, but it's a folk record and it amazes me that it could sell 10 million copies. I always compare it to visual arts. That my first record was like a pencil sketch, my second record a pastel drawing. And my third will be like an oil painting. Your art progresses. [shows live 'Hands'] Interviewer: What kind of a concert can we expect? Jewel: Um... I think my live shows are a lot better than my records. I like to play live a lot, and I like the audiences a lot. It's a kind of a very intimate experience. Fun. I like it when my audiences is enthusiastic. I think my crowd tend to be very polite, and they don't, they're afraid to clap loud, or... But I like it when I do a song. That's all so far... I expect more media coverage soon...

One of those ambitions has already has already come true-and will arrive in theatres soon. Jewel portrays a Civil War bride in "Ride with the Devil". "It was the most simultaneously the most exhilarating and horrifying endeavor I've ever undertaken a while," she says. Yet she's not concerned about how people will respond to her screen struttin' or every creative turn she takes in the future. "I don't want to get on my deathbed and realize I worried about what doesn't matter." she says. Success for Jewel means keeping her priorities straight and her profile as low as a superceleb can. She's completely "no comment" about her romance with Chris Douglas. She doesn't even own a hot ride, tooling around in a Volvo wagon that she loves because "I can still go out an sleep in the desert." since she believes in giving back, Jewel and her management formed Higher Ground for Humanity to support charitable causes. And wherever she goes she carries a container of Alaskan soil to remind hr of her roots and the rough road she has traveled to get to the top. "I feel most of myself when I sing, but fame isn't that fun." Jewel says. "I'd rather be home." **************************************************************************** ***************** The middle part of it was crap that is pretty wide-known about Jewel, her homelessness, her struggle, her childhood.

She did perform it quite a bit when she first wrote it, but not at all in recent years. You may be surprised to know that song was actually written just prior to her final semester at Interlochen way back in early1992. She did perform it at her sporadic gigs in 1992 & her earliest InnerChange gigs in 1993, but by mid 1993 it had already been dropped from her playlist. At the time of the MOM CD release in 1996, she did perform it live twice & these two performances circulate on video as both were TV broadcasts. For those collectors, like Julie, who are interested in tracking these down, here's some helpful info: On May 18, 1996 Jewel was recorded for "Rage TV" in Brockton, MA & sang "Quiet Warrior" on their "Surfdog" special. This was transmitted on local TV on June 3rd, 1996. She also performed it on MTV's "Surfrider" special transmitted on July 17th, 1996 & repeat broadcast several times that week on MTV. Other than those two times, that song has not been performed publicly since mid 1993. The John Haiit song "Have A Little Faith In Me" that Jewel recorded for the "Phenomenon" movie soundtrack around that same time period has never been performed live.

If you want to see the pictures that accompanied the article then they can be found on my web site at http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~cmgroves/Jewel ---------------------------------------------------- Jewel control She did as many as 500 gigs in a year, hit 40 cities in 30 days, and it worked: 10 million copies of her debut album sold and a $2 million contract for her poetry. Now Britain is about to feel the force of Jewel. By Neil McCormick. Despite her name (and it is her given name), Jewel doesn't look like she spends a lot of time in jewellery shops. Her taste in clothing leans more towards hip, understated casualwear than haute couture, and she sports no visible body piercings - not even on her ears. But there she was, in New York for a couple of days on business, killing time between appointments by indulging in a little window-shopping on Madison Avenue, when something caught her eye: an elaborate, turquoise, gem-studded guitar strap. So she pressed a buzzer to gain entry to Billy Martin's, an upmarket jewellery and design store and... well, I'll let her tell the rest. 'This guy comes over, so I say, "Is that a guitar strap?" He goes, "No, actually it's a conch belt" and gives me this dirty look like I'm a country and western ignoramus. I go, "Oh, I thought it was a guitar strap", and he goes, "Actually, we don't make guitar straps. We only make them for Gene Simmons and Dwight Yoakam." I say, "So I can't get one?" He says, "Well" - and he looks me up and down - "it would cost you a lot, but we could make you one." I say, "It's so nice that you cater to the common people." and walk out.' Relating this story the next day, Jewel laughs throughout, mocking both the shop assistant's supercilious tones and her own humble-pie response. 'I wanted to go, "**** you, idiot, do you know who you're talking to?", but it's so cheesy.' She chuckles again. 'I just hope he sees my picture somewhere.' Personally, I could not help wondering how on earth he had missed it. Since the release of her 10 million-selling debut album, Pieces Of You, in 1995, Jewel has appeared on the cover of Time, Interview and Rolling Stone (just three among a plethora of magazine covers); been a regular fixture of MTV; has been a guest on all the major US chat shows; and toured with Bob Dylan, the all-women Lilith Fair and as a major headlining act. Her first volume of poetry, A Night Without Armor, spent three months on the New York Times' bestseller list (not a place one is used to finding poetry books). And later this year, she has a starring role in acclaimed director Ang Lee's Civil War drama, Ride With The Devil. This cinematic debut is a brave move; Jewel will be playing opposite some of the brightest young actors of the day - Skeet Ulrich, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. Even Lee admits he was taking a chance: ' Hiring Jewel was a risk-taking experience, but very rewarding.' Although relatively unknown in the UK (where she has sold only some 100,000 albums), Jewel is a genuine pop phenomenon in the US. In fact, had the shop assistant strolled just a couple of blocks west of Madison, he would have been treated to the sight of an enormous painting of her face hanging rather conspicuously in front of the Virgin Records store in Times Square. A very nice face it is, too. Still only 24, Jewel has the fresh beauty of a blonde ingenue, her cool green eyes and full lips perfectly set in the oval of her face, to which the supposed imperfections of her bent nose and crooked teeth somehow only serve to add allure. Her appearance on the Times Square billboard, however, does not quite prepare you for her actual dimensions: there's not too many people she could tower over in real life. Yet while her height (or lack of it) contributes to an image of girlish youthfulness, there is something old beyond her years about Jewel, a sense of complete focus and inner gravity. I've met her before - rehearsing for an appearance on Later with Jools Holland and backstage after a show at the Shepherd's Bush Empire - and noticed what a calm centre she makes to whatever storm is being kicked up around her. In New York on promotional duties for her new album, Spirit, she has been on the go since 7am (for a dateline-crossing phone interview with a foreign radio station) and won't finish till around midnight (with a global live webcast from the high-tech Internet studios at Atlantic Records). Despite this exhausting schedule, she seems surprisingly good-humoured when she settles down to talk to me. As I turn on the microphone, she helpfully suggests that she might kick off proceedings, before drily launching into a mock précis of her life story: 'Raised by wolves in Alaska. Learned to yodel at the moon. Lived in a van on the San Diego freeway, only stopping for gas...' One gets the impression Jewel may have been asked to discuss her personal history a few too many times. Still, it is an intriguing story, even reduced to its bare bones. She was, in fact, raised in a log cabin on a ranch in Homer, Alaska (pop. 4,000). There was no electricity, telephone or running water. Her father, Atz Kilcher, and mother, Nedra Carrol, performed as a folk duo and variety act in local hotels and bars until they divorced when Jewel was eight. She stayed with Atz, a Vietnam vet who was turning into a 'mean' drinker. Jewel was drafted in to take her mother's place on stage, and spent years touring the bars and clubs of Alaska, until, at 15, she went to live with her mother in Anchorage. After a brief spell in art school in Michigan, she headed for San Diego. Desperately unhappy, suffering chronic illness due to weak kidneys, working in dead-end waitressing jobs and wondering what she was going to do with her life, Jewel received some rather unusual advice from her mother: why not cut down on living expenses and 'make herself available to her dream' by moving into her car. Jewel duly lived in a VW camper van for a year, washing in public conveniences. Concentrating on songwriting and performing, she had landed herself a record deal by the time she was 18. And the rest was... well, a lot of hard work. actually. Despite the more romantic notions of success in the music business, you don't sell 10 million albums by talent alone. Pieces Of You is a simple, low-key, almost entirely acoustic affair that failed to make any discernible impression on its release. Jewel, however, was turning herself into a low-maintenance one-woman road warrior, performing a staggering 500 shows a year. Her target was to do 40 cities every 30 days, driving herself in a rented car, doing high-school shows in the morning, radio stations and in-store appearances during the day, opening for a band in the evening and finishing with a coffee-house show of her own at night. And she is quite extraordinary live, with a vocal repertoire that extends from yodelling to operatics, and an intimate chatty style that pulls audiences into her songs. Some 14 months after its release, Pieces Of You finally charted. Which did not mean Jewel's work was done. If anything, with Atlantic Records putting its full weight behind what was now a high-priority hit act, Jewel's relentless gigging and promotional activity only increased. Although working in the unusually somewhat marginal area of introverted, acoustic singer-songwriter (her debut album certainly has none of the melodramatic angst and high-gloss production that characterises the work of Alanis Morissette and the many angry young women who followed in her wake), Jewel has nonetheless been marketed like a mainstream pop act. Beautiful and curvaceous - her cleavage is, frankly, hard to avoid - she's become a kind of Folky Spice, a pin-up for sensitive adolescent boys and a role model for dreamy teenage girls. Her debut album has probably served to introduce more young people to the potential for poetic self-expression in simple acoustic-based singing and songwriting than anything since the advent of Bob Dylan. And this despite the fact that even Jewel herself doesn't think it is particularly good. 'I cried the first time I heard Pieces Of You,' she confesses. ' I can't listen to it. I've never listened to it again. I was really uncomfortable and self-conscious. I just can't listen to my singing on that record, it doesn't sound like me. I mean, it's a good record for a teenager - it's honest, it's awkward, it's all there - but having it taken so seriously was like having a student's artwork taken seriously. Student art isn't meant to be critiqued. You're supposed to go, "Has potential if she keeps going".' All of this (and a lot more besides) comes out in what might be described as a gushing torrent of words, were it not for her quiet tone (she speaks so softly it's a strain to actually hear what she's saying) and abiding air of calm consideration. Jewel talks fast but never seems agitated, nor does she appear to be saying anything she hasn't thought carefully through. She is (as perhaps might be expected from someone who has so wholeheartedly embraced the promotional side of her career), a very professional interviewee. In fact, there is almost something of the politician in her, a sense of wariness reinforced by occasional requests for clarification. She tends to listen very carefully, unwilling to respond until she is certain where a question is leading. But when she answers it all pours forth, as if she's determined to communicate the maximum amount in the relatively small space of time each interview is allotted. There is a sense of release about Jewel in full flow. She is on a mission to express herself. 'Singing in bars, and seeing what goes on in seedy dives from a very young age could have ruined me, but instead it made me get fascinated by people and want to record people's emotional history, see what motivates us, see what motivates me,' she says. 'In Anchorage we lived across from a cemetery downtown, where there was a lot of alcoholics. It was a very bad part of the town, people would pass out drunk and freeze to death on the sidewalks in front of our house. There's a service you can call to have them pick up the stiffs. I saw friends on welfare starting to shoplift instead of using their food stamps. I had a friend who ended up dead from gang violence. I had a friend, Edward, who was always kind of a fat kid, and he was 18 when he killed himself, shot himself in the face at our house, and left a note saying nobody would love him because he was fat. Just seeing those levels of humanity touches and bites your heart in a way that you'll never be free from. It made me incredibly determined.' Lives can seem impossibly well ordered in retrospect, and Jewel's certainly seems to have equipped her with everything for modern superstardom. Her work ethic was cultivated on the farm ('It was a hard discipline, physical labour, lots of chores and not too many luxuries') and perhaps stoked by dyslexia ( 'I think because I'm dyslexic, I always tended to overcompensate. I have to try things so much harder, I end up trying 20 times harder than I really need to'). Her creativity was nurtured by artistically inclined parents ('From when we were little, my mother used to sit us down every Monday and do a poetry workshop') and emphasised by her isolation ('There was no TV. Instead I would sit down and write something'), while her musical craft was honed performing with her father from early childhood ('I used to practise constantly, mercilessly, learning different harmonies, learning to imitate a lot of different voices'). Her emotional drive was certainly fuelled by the divorce ('Leaving your Mom on a street corner while you drive away in your father's car is just brutal') and a difficult relationship with her father ('There were a lot of hard times, a lot of years where he disappointed both of us'). When you look at it that way, it seems a wonder it took her quite so long to make it. If indeed she really has made it. 'It just feels like a popularity contest I've won,' she insists. 'I think I'd be foolhardy to believe in it too much. I'm still wet behind the ears, I'm just learning. I want to get better. It would be preposterous to say at my age I'm very good at my craft. I feel like I'm just getting my tricks down.' Like many in her profession, Jewel is a paradoxical personality, equal parts confidence and insecurity. She's bold enough to allow her poetry to be published in a handsomely bound book, but will rattle off, entirely unbidden, a lengthy list of what she considers her many flaws as a writer (which include, apparently, bad grammar, terrible spelling and no sense of structure). Even the kindest of critics would be compelled to admit that while Jewel may be the best-paid poet in history (she signed a $2 million book deal with HarperCollins), she's unlikely to figure among the greatest. Her self-absorbed opus reads like an adolescent girl's diary in blank verse. Fortunately, she's a better songwriter, capable of spinning delicate melodies around deceptively complex lyrics. With subtle band arrangements underpinning her crystalline voice, Spirit represents a significant development of the raw talent showcased on her bestselling debut. And so it should. During her relentless, epic promotional campaign for an album that by her own admission she can't even bring herself to listen to, she assembled a repertoire of more than 200 original songs, which she then had to whittle down to just 13. 'I had a pretty strong theme in mind,' she says, 'so I just picked songs that fit.' These feature an abundance of uplifting, homespun philosophies such as 'what's simple is true' and 'only kindness matters', although she deftly counterbalances the Fortune Cookie positivity with an eloquent sense of life's many hardships, as if she's trying to find a way out of darkness by the light of idealism. In a sense, Spirit concerns itself with the triumph of hope over experience, of optimism over cynicism. This, after all, is Jewel's story. 'In the States what a lot of people call optimism is actually denial,' Jewel says. 'It's a blind conservative optimism: "everything's fine, there's no problem, look on the bright side". It's rubbish. There are obvious problems in the world and your experiences can make you bitter or they can make you determined to overcome. That's a choice we make, I guess, every day. Cynicism is fun, its kind of a nice brain game because it's smart, but ultimately it doesn't help much. I look at someone like Martin Luther King who knew what tremendous opposition he faced and stayed mercilessly focused on what change was possible, because he knew that lending the problem his despair was to become part of the problem. It's something I've thought about a lot. If I feel poorly, or when my circumstances are poor, I want to know the quickest route to getting better. Which means working out what I am going to do, how am I contributing to the problem, how can I control at least what I can? It means getting a lot more conscious of your life and a lot more thoughtful. To me that's intelligent optimism, and that's what I choose. Cynicism isn't smarter, it's just safer.' The cynical, of course, might point out that Jewel's rags-to-riches success owes at least as much to her willingness to embrace the record industry's corporate marketing machine as to her personal perseverance against the odds. But (as might be expected from such a seasoned campaigner) she has an answer to that, one that sounds like something she might have picked up back on the homestead in Alaska. 'You can ride the horse or it can ride you,' she says. 'I'm going to ride the horse as best as I can.' Jewel's British tour begins on May 4 at Southampton Guildhall.

Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Hello again, Here's two independent reviews of Jewel Aussie concerts I found on my work newswire. Enjoy - they're both pretty positive. Courier Mail, Brisbane 18/03/99 (okay, it's 03/18/99 for you US EDA's) JEWEL, QPAC Concert Hall, Brisbane. Reviewed by Noel Mengel HERE is something you weren't expecting. Jewel, who has sold millions of records with some pretty tunes and mellow introspection, turns out to be a great rock 'n' roller. Here's another. She has a mighty voice, an instrument that can soar, growl, purr and giggle. The rock 'n' roll attitude and powerful voice haven't been fully explored on her first two albums, and if she manages it on album number three she'll force a lot of people to reconsider their preconceptions. Not that fans of her quieter side were disappointed; there was room for something of everything in a set that went for almost two hours. The early part of the evening introduced her band, which included her occasional songwriting partner and support act on the night, Steve Poltz, a supple rhythm section in drummer Brady Blade and bassist Austin Hall, with Steve George on keys and Doug Pettibone on guitar. But from the opening song, Near You Always, it was apparent that the heart of the show would be Jewel's voice - once the audience got used to those hot pants (will she be wearing these in Europe too???!!!). It's a voice as technically impressive as any of those big voices from Whitney, Celine and the rest but, to these ears, much more emotionally engaging. Throw in a Lolita-ish whisper in the mid-range and you've got enough action to keep the show moving, and to overcome the wordy obtuseness of many of the lyrics on her second album, Spirit. You Were Meant For Me, with co-writer Poltz harmonising into the same microphone, brought the house down, before a long solo set on acoustic guitar featuring earlier favourites such as I'm Sensitive and Morning Song. But the show really ignited when the band returned, transforming Down So Long from its gentle album version into a Neil Young-style rocker, and a couple of new songs bore the traces of Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. On record, Jewel comes across as earnest. In concert, with the impish presence of Poltz at her side, she can laugh at herself and get the audience laughing too. Now for the next trick: to let the rock 'n' roll genie out of the bottle in the studio and capture it on tape. Poltz also won plenty of fans with his support set. He might never be the new Bob Dylan but with his mix of blues, folk, self-deprecating humour and facial expressions, he'll do just fine as the new Loudon Wainwright. Western Australian Newspapers (?) - 04/03/99 Gems from the Jewel of Alaska. By ARA JANSEN. MUSIC POP REVIEWS WA JEWELBurswood Theatre, February 28 LIKE a favourite crisp white shirt which works with just about anything, the first of Jewel's two Perth shows was an exercise in simplicity. It spoke volumes for itself. The Grammy-winning Alaskan singer has an angelic voice which gives a number of the so-called divas a hands-down run for their money. Lou Bennett, of Australian acoustic trio Tiddas, opened the show with only her guitar and a set of impassioned songs for company. She opened with Alinta, a song for her niece, as well as much-loved Tiddas songs like Inside My Kitchen, Sing About Life and the inspirational song about choice called Create Another Day. Though alone and without her harmonising sisters, Bennett was engaging and sincere. American singer Steve Poltz stole the show for humour and continued to do so when he later appeared as Jewel's guitarist. His set of acoustic-based guitar songs ranged from the hilarious song about Star Wars (which demanded audience participation) and The Tree Huggers Song to the romantic Good Morning (I Miss Waking Up Next To You). Poltz opened his bracket with an example of living songwriting in action - the newly-written Ten Chances, about meeting new friends in a Melbourne bar last week, and one of the girls throwing "a hissy fit" and driving off in her Mercedes-Benz. Refreshing, gorgeously goofy and direct, Poltz, in between kissing the small doll on his stage table, is a brave writer and performer who won this audience over after one song. For a relative unknown in Australia that's no mean feat, given local audiences' notorious lack of interest in unfamiliar acts. Jewel's voice is that of a veteran who could go in any direction she chose: rock, folk, pop, country or even opera. She makes it look easy as her voice dips and changes to suit her folk-based pop songs. But that just doesn't gel with the girl who keeps tugging at her shirt tail and talking to the stage floor. The voice seems at odds with the slightly aggravating physical mannerisms. While I'm happy to justify it as nerves, it seems that Jewel needs to get more comfortable about having that many people in a room with her. That didn't detract, however, from the fact that there were some truly beautiful moments where Jewel's voice echoed her name over and over. Just as powerful was her strong and confident message, determined to offer hope and a glimpse at understanding the human condition. The best-known songs all appeared: Hands, Who Will Save Your Soul (remodelled with a funky reggae skank), Pieces of You and Foolish Games as well as album cuts from Pieces of You and her newest, Spirit. Jupiter, Deep Water and Innocence Maintained were just a handful of songs where the 24-year-old singer really flexed her vocal muscles to soar supported by a tight but fluid five-piece band. IF THE new song, Love Me Then Leave Me Alone, is a taste of things to come, then Jewel's star can only shoot a little higher. It's a lusty Dylanesque track with a hint of the Stones. The singer also knew how to mix up the presentation. Sometimes there was a full band and at others just her and a guitar, like the Down So Long and Pieces of You. Each had their own attraction. Life Uncommon was one of those truly magical moments. Simple but powerful and imbued with a strong sense of the spiritual. Jewel and Steve Poltz shared a mike for You Were Meant For Me (preceded by a fun story about witnessing a drug bust) and I Thought I Saw You Last Night. Both were romantic without dipping into sentimentality. His slightly grainy vocal made an interesting foil to her crystal correctness. Apparently, if Jewel finishes with a yodel, you know she had a good night. And from the audience response, which included plenty of people on their feet applauding, it seemed they did too. Oh, and just in case you haven't od-ed on all that - here's an interview type.thing from before the Brissie concert - also from Brisbane Courier Mail. 16Mar1999 Polished Jewel simply pleases herself. By Bruce Long and Noel Mengel. ANOTHER day, another plush hotel lobby, another night on the road. Jewel has had a lot of those nights on the road in her short life, although it must be said that staying in five-star luxury came only after millions of people - eventually - went mad for her debut album. Before that, it was the usual run of waiting on tables, living out of cars and wondering where the next meal was coming from that is the lot of budding songwriters. The refined surrounds of her Brisbane hotel are a far cry from Jewel's early years in Alaska, growing up in a log cabin with no TV or running water, getting up in the icy dark to milk the cow and walk to school. If ever there was an upbringing to prepare a girl for the ridiculous pressures that selling 10 million copies of a debut album can bring, that sounds like it. It teaches you to take all those words written about you - positive and negative - with a grain of salt, or not to read them at all. It instills a work ethic, too, which is why she is chatting affably to a stranger - me - about songs and events that must seem to her like ancient history. But it's not what she was born to do. She did that last night at a sold-out show at the QPAC Concert Hall. She'll do it again tonight and on around the world for months to come. It's what she's been preparing for since taking the stage at six with her folk-singing parents and her brother. "I've been a performer from a young age," Jewel says. "I'd had a lot of professional experience before I signed a record contract and I think that was one of the reasons I was successful." Not that success came in a rush. That album, Pieces of You, was released to something approaching a deafening silence in 1995. "That first year," an executive from her record company sums up, "they spat on us." Jewel crept up on the world and she's thankful it happened that way. Was there ever a time she went, "Oops, there's millions of people listening in. I wish I hadn't said that"? She grins: "I don't want to disguise what I'm feeling. I wouldn't be doing this if I did. But I'd be bored if music was all I did. I'm writing a book of short stories and I've appeared in my first film and want to do more." She plays a lead role in Ride with the Devil, the next film by Sense and Sensibility director Ang Lee. Not that Jewel is about to give up the soul mining that has produced some of the most popular music of the '90s. "Any creative person has to trust to instinct," she says. "The worst thing you can do is to come from outside yourself. Or write to please the critics." Slán go foill, Adrian, the Irish angel - in exile "Tender is the night lying by your side Tender is the touch of someone that you love too much Tender is the day the demons go away Lord I need to find someone who can heal my mind."

Of course, I'm going to plug my web site at http://www.endor.org/jewel again cuz I always have to. Plus, I just added a section to list mailing lists for EDAs and how to subscribe & unsubscribe. Short and sweet info. Check it out under "Mailing Lists". In any case, I write to make a suggestion. I have created a mini-mailing list specifically for organizing gatherings in Southern California after Lori successfully organized a small gathering in Orange County. If you'd like to get in on the action and join us soon, just join up to the list and let everyone know you're here! :) My suggestion is this: Why not do this in every major region where EDAs can gather? If you would like to be on a small mailing list specifically for organizing gatherings in your area, simply e-mail me with the region which applies to you.

It seems many American EDAs don't understand why singles often are only available as imports. Others wonder why more "obscure and/or unreleased" tracks are not being used on the singles. I'll try to explain how this stuff works & hopefully it'll make more sense to everyone. I think many people don't understand the purpose of CD singles. Singles are released to help promote an album (not to please collectors, although thats nice when it happens). Here in the US, once an album becomes extremely popular, singles DO NOT SELL & are therefore not released here, other than making promo singles available to radio stations. It's also important to keep in mind that Atlantic is still working to achieve success with Jewel's two albums in many parts of the world. (American fans often forget that Jewel is not nearly as popular in many other countries.) A prime example is Europe where Jewel is just beginning to get airplay & media attention. That's why Atlantic continues releasing singles in Europe that are not released here in the US. Here's how it actually works. Atlantic Records has divisions in various key markets around the world. When & if a single is released, each "world market" independently decides what extra cuts will be used in their particular market. They may ask us for suggestions, but ultimately THEY approve what gets used. That's why different countries have different bonus tracks. It also explains decisions such as using the Vara FM 1996 live versions of WWSYS & YWMFM on one of the "Hands" singles. These singles were never intended for sale in the US, so it makes perfect sense to include those "hit" songs to a NEW European audience. Those were the songs that became extremely popular with American audiences, so they were obvious choices to include on European singles. It seems like redundancy to old American fans, but keep in mind these singles are not for American fans. They are for NEW international fans who have likely never heard Jewel's albums. The goal behind the record company's (import only)single releases is to gain attention from the people in those areas of the world & ultimately sell more albums THERE. Regardless of what you think about record companies, the fact remains that they are a business. Releasing these import singles (that we enjoy collecting) in America doesn't make sense because they don't need singles to move the album here. On the first album they did release US singles to promote the album, but remember, that was when Jewel needed the exposure here. Now on to how certain live tracks get selected for use on import singles. What happens is certain criteria is defined by Atlantic & that criteria is not open to debate (or the complaints I keep hearing from fans who are knowledgable about Jewel's work). For instance, on the "Hands" single, they were very specific. They wanted live versions of those 2 songs (YWMFM & WWSYS) preferably from European performances, since that's where it was initially going to be released. Since both those songs were performed well & recorded nicely by Vara FM in 1996, that was an excellent choice for what was required. For this international "Down So Long" single, the criteria we were given was: 1) 2 live tracks (one old/one new) in excellent quality from European performances. 2) They must be songs included on Jewel's albums. So..... I suggested those live (in London 1997) versions of "Fat Boy" & "Amen". They filled the parameters perfectly & I liked them for additional reasons. In my opinion, "Amen" was the most incredible song on POY & best fit with the current "Spirit" material lyric content. At the time of the request (early January 1997) Jewel had not yet performed a lot of the "Spirit" material, so my choices were very limited regarding that material in good live versions. I also liked these choices because the two songs were together as encores that night in London & this version of "Amen" is incredible. It has a bum guitar note or two, but the vocal is amazing. It's a remarkable performance of one of her strongest earlier songs, in my opinion. So I went with those 2 choices for performance, consistency/quality of sound & continuity, while simultaneously fullfilling all the requirements from the record company. Some markets prefered substituting "I'm Sensitive" for "Amen", & that's why some singles (Japan, Australia) have that & the "Fat Boy" from London. Well, thats the reality of how, why & where import singles are released. It's strictly common sense (from a business perspective) not to release these "Spirit" singles in the US. Fortunately, for those who do enjoy collecting every single, they are extremely easy to find. Any reputable CD store in the US can order these imports, online stores carry them & even many of the big retailers have them in stock. They'll be easy to find here in the US.

A rough diamond --------------- Reformed hippie chick Jewel discovered that fame doesn't exactly open the right doors in Sydney. In town to promote her new album, Spirit, the 24-year-old Alaskan-born singer and a couple of hangers-on strolled across from their Double Bay hotel, the Ritz Carlton, to hot new nightclub The Embassy. Imagine thier surprise when they were denied entry by doorman David Panizzuti because they did not comply with the dress code. It seems that at this chic, Cross St haven, even $250 designer jeans are deemed inappropriate dress. "Jewel was actually fine," said one witness, "but she didn't want to go in without the other two and they didn't want to go back to the hotel and change." Needless to say, the thrillseekers did not take this well. At first, the guys tried unsuccessfully to push their way past the hunky Panizzuti, then they started uttering profanities. "It was ugly," an Embassy spokeman confirmed. "They used the kind of language not often heard in the Bay." Jewel was also unimpressed. "Don't you know who I am?" cried the woman who once did it so tough that she was forced to wash her hair in department stores. The group vowed to go to the media to report how badly they had been treated. Chrissie Camp, the national publicity manager at Jewel's record company, Warner Bors Music, said she knew nothing about the incident or the one mentioned below. "Jewel has now left the country," she said, "So, it's a little hard to get hold of her." The remainder of the group's trip did not go down well with the locals, either. Restauranter George Fischer, who has Fischer's coffee shop just across from the Ritz-Carlton, was not thrilled when some of Jewel's entourage swept out of the eatery, having clean forgotten to pay a $82 bill (blame it on that pesky jetlag). Thankfully, another hotel guest was there at the time, recognised the group and volunteered to take the bill back to the hotel. "Someone came back and paid $14," said Fischer, "so now I'm only owed $67." Isn't life grand? -------------- There's also a picture that goes with the article, presumably taken during an interview in a hotel room or something. The caption says: Careless behaviour: Singer Jewel, whose party did not always observe the nicities of Sydney society. For the readers outside of Sydney, Double Bay is a pretty exclusive suburb, where most of the people living there are either doctors or lawyers. Anyway, just thought I'd share. Keep the concert reviews coming, enjoying them mucho. Cheers, Jeremy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- jl10@uow.edu.au ICQ# 3408816 Jez@tmbg.org lbtoys@ozemail.com.au From owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Thu Mar 25 08:45:33 1999 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/jewelq-jane) id IAA29337 for jewel-news-outgoing; Thu, 25 Mar 1999 08:44:44 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199903251344.IAA29337@smoe.org> Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 22:29:51 EST From: ABershaw@aol.com To: jewel@smoe.org Subject: Jewel-News: Re: Import Jewel Singles (the process explained) Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Hi again, Just a quick correction.

This girl came out of a bubble, sprung from another age, come from a parallel universe. Jewel hangs far over the underground excitement of new musics made with the plunder of others'. Pretty and sensual, she runs neck and crop in a second album. Spirit only appeals to senses, tears, emotion. It might have been forgotten in a fold of the seventies or imported from a planet where the year doesn't work out in 365 days. Her first album made as much damage as a twister in the States. Her music seems to be made for all the quadras who are on command of the north american life. For Jewel, far from being run-down, only does what people like Francis Cabrel and Jean-Jacques Goldman are doing in France. Just pop or rock songs. Among the people who came in studio with Jewel, there are musicians like Tom Petty, Dwight Yoakam and a huge songwriter unknown here John Prine. If one had to sum up her influences, one might share in 3 equal parts between 3 ladies : Joni Mitchell, Ricky Lee Jones and Tori Amos."

(It's great that we now have 1st hand accounts available from EDAs in these areas of the world! Looking forward to hearing all about it! Yet another advantage of this expanding community.) Following Japan, they'll all be coming home for a few weeks. There will be a few HGH media events & another Tonight Show appearance on April 26th. Then it'll be off to the UK & Europe. (see all currently available scheduling info at Jewel's website.) I know a lot of you are curious about the new songs that Jewel has been refering to as "country". They do have some of that "high lonesome cowboy sound" quality, but I wouldn't quite call them country music. They're all (at this point) still solo acoustic & remind me more of the acoustic songs circa 1996 that all the oldtimers love so much. There's definitely a more apparent influence from her dad lately in the song structure. Steve & Jewel also wrote a new one called "Valentine Song" thats real nice. That should be surfacing at shows any time now. She's having a great time with this band & they've gotten far better since the TV appearances earlier this year. I think many of you will be blown away by how hard Jewel & the band rocks toward the end of the shows. Songs like Down So Long, "Love Me Just Leave Me Alone" & "Down" really cook these days. Oh, & on "Down", Jewel STILL has not written definitive words. It's still being improvised on a nightly basis lyricly. Some new items (including the "Spirit" songbooks) are now up on Jewel's website at the new redesigned store. I think you'll find it much easier to navigate & view store items now . For folks into Steve Poltz, he's our current featured artist. A fairly extensive discography for Steve is included for you collectors out there (following the bio). As always, at: www.jeweljk.com That's about it for today. Oh yeah....For those who mighta missed it: Mike Connell casually slipped you some excellent advice earlier.

The newspaper has an official site, but the interview doesn't seem to be up there, so I'll just type it out :-) -Jeanette "This Jewel is honest, playful, and has a quick temper." You have to try real heard to remember that Jewel Kilcher is one of the biggest musicians today. Because you would never be able to tell, if you met her in real life. After finishing an interview with some Hong Kong journalists in a posh hotel suite, the 24-year-old singer came out to the waiting area and went: "Okay, who's the next victim?" I sheepishly introduced myself. Understandably, if you consider that in the three short years since her first album, Pieces of You, came out, she's been on the cover of almost every magazine, including prestigious Time magazine. After a warm handshake, Jewel asked me: "Want to join me in the corridor?" She walked out with her two band members and plonked herself down to the carpeted floor and smiled: "Okay, let's do it." NOT WELL-REHEARSED ANSWERS You could tell this wasn't going to be a conventional interview. Mostly, I was having trouble dealing with the fact that the friendly singer, sitting on the floor has sold 12 million copies of her debut album. Decked casually in a red singlet and blue jeans, Jewel is a woman of few words. Yet, you couldn't help but feel that whatever she said weren't well-rehearsed answers from her thousands of interviews. Critics have labeled her music as honest and so are the vibes you get from her as well. She admitted that talking about herself all the time was weird, as was seeing her face on Time magazine last year, although that was also "cool". She also admitted she didn't know what to expect from the Singapore concert-goers. "I just hope they like my music," she said. With so many stories written about her, it was hard finding something new to talk about, but Jewel gave a hand. "I've gone over this so many times, I'm ready. Okay, I was raised by Alaskan wolves and had a terrible childhood because I never listened to the Beatles," she said with a wry smile. In truth, of course, Jewel was born in Alaska, raised by very human parents, and is a fan of the Fab Four. While not envisioning a career change, Jewel has completed filming for an Ang Lee movie, Ride iwth the Devil, where she plays a feisty bride during the American Civil War. She also released her second album, Spirit, in November last year. When asked if a third is on the way, she said: "Come on, I only just had my second!" Ah, that notorious Jewel quick temper coming to the forefront? "There you go, I've just displayed my quick temper," she said with a laugh. Playfully, Jewel brandished a huge diamond on her ring finger. "Tell in, in Singapore, does this mean I'm married?" asked Jewel who is currently dating a male model. When I nodded, she said: "Well, I'm not, and I'm not engaged either." When told that I was done with the interview, Jewel stood up and shook my hand again. "It was really nice talking to you," she said. For the first time for as long as I can remember interviewing celebrities (about 4 years now), I actually believed that.

Long post ahead!!! I just got back from the Jewel concert, and it's about 1am over here! The concert lasted a total of 3 hours and 20 minutes! It started at 8 pm and ended at 11.20 pm. And the concert ROCKED! Steve opened the show and everybody loved him! He did um, 5 songs I believe, I don't have the setlist with me at the moment, but I remember him doing Everything About You, 26, The Star Wars song, Silver Lining and one other song.... Oh yeah! The Chair Song... I think he just wrote it or something... Everybody was totally singing along to the Star Wars song :-) About 15 minutes after Steve's set ended, Jewel came out solo, singing 'Near You Always', which just brought the house down. Oh and yeah!!! Her musicians, Steve included, were wearing silk pajamas on stage. They had bought them in Chinatown and were wearing them proudly. I didn't notice it until my friend, Sean, pointed it out to me. And later during one of the encores, Jewel's drummer came out, wearing a turban! I honestly can't remember the exact songs she did, but I know somebody is going to post them soon :-) Harin has the whole set list. I met her during the concert, and she's a doll! Okay, one thing I do have to admit is that the concert started off kind of slow. Everybody was sitting down, *but* cheering along. Jewel told the pot story to YWMFM, which the crowd loved :-) The fun part of the concert started when she played 'Down So Long', I think after that, she had everybody from the back go to the front, squeezing in... I was in one of the first rows of the blocks, so I got blocked and I leapt onto my chair with my friend. So if there are any Singaporean EDAs, I was the girl dressed in a blue top, jeans, standing next to a girl dressed in pink. We were the ones jumping up and down screaming our heads off. Jewel then did um, 'Who Would Save Your Soul', 'Down', 'Love Me, Leave Me Alone' (?), which everybody went wild over. Everybody was dancing around. Then Jewel left, and came back to do 'Absence of Fear', and 'Angel Standing By'. Finally her second encore was 'Chime Bells', which again, everybody went mad over. Overall, the concert was amazing, and my friend was just yelling to me how great it was :-) The only gripe I had was that there were NO merchandise!!! None at all!!! The only things being sold there were the CDs, no programs anything, so I was very disappointed. MrBB? Is there any possible chance of me buying the programs online? Oh and yeah, Steve signed my One Left Shoe CD :-) Okay, let's see if I can recall the songs that she did... not in order...

Here's the atricle, loosely translated: Jewel a true jewel ------------------ It seems like there's no end to Jewels talents.Not only did she release two very successful albums, but also published her first volume of verse last year, and is seen in her first film later on this year. Not bad for someone who once lived with her mother in a microbus. But life's not always easy for a 24-year old superstar. In a recent interview she complains about the demands of fame. "Everywhere people want to take photos of me" she says. "Sometimes it just is too much. And when I lose my temper I feel bad about it the next day." Jewel also has other problems. Her previous manager(?), Inga Vainshhtein, sued her for R60 million (about $10 million) after her contract has been suspended and Jewel's mother, Nedra Caroll, took over. Inga says if it wasn't for her, Jewel would still have made music in coffee shops. Jewel doesn't want to talk about the court case, but an expert in the music industry reckons that Inga didn't do her part either. "When Jewel became more widely known, Inga wasn't always available. Nedra was however always willing to organise things and before long she did more than Inge." he says. "At least Nedra called back." There are two pictures of Jewel included, neither of which I've seen before. I'll put them on a website if anyone is interested. Oh, and how come that is the first time I hear about this sue story??? Has anybody got more info about it, or maybe a link? Thanks ya all! Bye!
