THe two-month itinerary opened June 25th in Bakersfield, California and will hit major arenas and amphitheaters across the country. THe tour sponsorship and the ad campaign are part of the designer's continuing celebration of 1999 as "The Year in Music." "Like the title of her album, Jewel represents the true 'spirit' of the Tommy Hilfiger woman," said Tommy Hilfiger. "Jewel not only encompasses inner and outer beauty, but she has a unique and elegant style. Her musical talents and influence are revealed in her beautiful voice and moving lyrics. Beyond music, her force as a positive and inspirational role model for women is shown in her passion and concern for world issues and her personal career growth. I cannot think of a more suitable female musician who best personifies the Tommy Hilfiger image. I am thrilled to be working with her." Tommy's commitment to quality and style have made him one of the top names in the fashion industry," said Jewel. "His sincere interest in music and the arts make him a natural choice for a partner on my North American Tour."
