On Tuesday night, June 12, 2007, multi-platinum singing sensation Jewel will host a Songwriters Showcase at the venue 12th & Porter in Nashville, Tennesse. Following a successful “ Nashville meets L.A” songwriters’ showcase with John Rich and MusikMafia members Trevor Rosen, Jon Nicholson, and Shanna Crooks, Jewel brings another rare acoustic Songwriters Showcase to the Nashville scene. The impromptu evening will include exclusive performances by Jewel and surprise songwriting friends in an intimate venue in Nashville. Tickets are available only online at www.frontgatetickets.com and priced at $10.

From the remote tundra of her Alaskan youth to the triumph of international stardom, Jewel has traveled a singular road as an acclaimed singer, songwriter, poet, actress and painter. The three-time Grammy nominee, hailed by The Times of London as “the most sparkling female singer-songwriter since Joni Mitchell,” nevertheless remains a unique and authentic artist, exploring fresh musical avenues for more than a decade that have taken her from the simplicity of acoustic-driven folk to the embrace of rock, pop, country, blues, jazz and classical influences. To date, Jewel has sold over 27 million albums worldwide, enjoying career longevity rare among her generation of artists. Jewel recently completed a stint as the host of Nashville Star and is in the studio working on a country-infused album.
