Hey everyone, Sorry to interupt the Jewelesque discussions.. Just wondering if any of you have ol' Duff Martin's current e-mail addy. The one I have bounces now.. tho I haven't spoken to her in a little over a year on it. Thanks, Gerrit http://endor.org/jewel ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 00:28:28 -0700 From: "EN" Subject: [EDA] NJC: Pantene Pro-Voice contest Has anyone been following this year's competition? I just caught a commercial for it on NOG (yes, I watch the teen Nickelodeon network!) and the Kate girl sounds like Michelle Branch. Does anyone else think her style is similar to Michelle Branch's? Well, she lists Jewel as an influence. I would like to see her develop her own style though . anyway, just wanted to know if anyone else cared?

I was wondering why I hadn't seen this post - turned out it never made it through - so here it is!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Howdy all!! Just realized I'd been remiss on making an official announcement for the Bearsville camping gathering this year. As you old fogies here on the list already know, we have a camping gathering every year in honor of JewelStock - only this year the weekend is a bit more removed from the anniversary than usual due to scheduling conflicts of some of us usual attendees. We have this camping weekend in the Catskills at the Sleepy Hollow campgrounds in Phoenicia, NY. If I remember correctly (I just realized I forgot to verify this with the campgrounds), we pay $9 per person per night for camping. Attendees will also need $ for food and activities you choose to participate in. Activities typically include tubing (once or twice) and horseback riding, probably a trip into WoodStock and maybe an afternoon at the lake beach. If you'd like more information or would like to RSVP, please contact me at _AnnualBearsville@aol.com_ (mailto:AnnualBearsville@aol.com) - I'll try to get back to you in a timely manner, although I haven't had as much time online these days :-) Thanks for reading!!!

How much are the Instant Live discs? Are the lines after the show huge? Do you definitely get your copies right then and there? And finally, is there a limit to how many copies you can buy? I know a couple of people in addition to myself who'd love one as well. I'm hittin' up the Atlanta show on 8/9 and thought I'd ask beforehand. Any help would be great, please reply to me directly.

No matter how big she became over the past 10 years, no matter how far removed from those days when she played coffeehouses while living in a van on a beach near San Diego, she still likes to hit the road sans band to work on new material and get up close and personal with her adoring fans. So it was Sunday night when one of the Interlochen Arts Academy's most famous alumni made a swing through the Clio Area Amphitheater, one of a string of 15-straight solo gigs she's doing (she's in Toledo tonight) while working on a new album. Two albums, really. One was recorded that night, and sold after the gig, part of a growing trend in music where artists "basically bootleg," in her words, themselves. Fans walk away with a souvenir recording of the performance they just saw. There was a line at the tent after the hour-and-45-minute show ended. Jewel also is recording all shows on this particular leg of the tour with the intent of including up to half a dozen of them, especially road-tested but previously unreleased songs like "Rosey and Mickey," on her next CD. Actually, Jewel's been doing solo gigs, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, almost exclusively since last year, when she released "0304," a jarring, ill-advised album that abandoned her folk-pop roots for the kind of trendy dance-pop that younger, equally photogenic (but far less gifted) stars like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have ridden to the top of the charts. Most of the material wasn't up to her usual standards. Right now, the muse has her playing informally all by herself, road-testing new songs, re-envisioning old ones and, as was the case Sunday, revisiting childhood pursuits like the yodeling she learned as a kid and the operatic training she received as a teenager at Interlochen. Sunday's performance was a mixed bag. The first half was pleasant enough, but marred somewhat by Jewel's sometimes cloying penchant for oversinging. With a voice as beautiful, powerful and elastic as hers, it's puzzling that she feels the need to show off, sometimes to the detriment of the song. Fortunately, the concert got better as it progressed. Jewel's best moments were her must unadorned, like the touching version of "Angel," a song about her father, and the unsettling "Rosey and Mickey," about the consequences of an abusive relationship. She strung several hits together toward the end, finding new avenues without overdoing it on "Foolish Games" and "You Were Meant for Me," though she did go a bit overboard on "Who Will Save Your Soul." The encore was a real joy, during which she played a dulcimer, performed with opener Joe Firstman on a song they wrote together, and showed off the voice training she received at Interlochen with an Italian aria and a yodel she learned as a child in Alaska. *** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 16:15:52 EDT From: NeOblCar@aol.com Subject: Re: [EDA] Clio review In a message dated 7/19/2004 4:10:31 PM Eastern Daylight Time, GAMGRIFF@aol.com wrote that the Flint First Edition had said: Sunday's performance was a mixed bag.

And while I appreciate that many might actually prefer this style, it seems to be a growing trend in Jewel's shows. I was just wondering for all the shows we EDAs have attended this summer, did anyone else get a similar feeling - or was it just two bad shows in, mine in NJ and this one in Clio. == Rob == "All the perfect drugs and superheroes wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero," Aimee Mann ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V9 #204 ***************************
