Jewel's personal odyssey, partly chronicled on one of the best-selling debut albums of all time, the 12-time platinum "Pieces of You," comes full circle with her latest work "Lullaby." The 15-track album, her first independent release, features 10 self-penned songs and a few standards, including "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
Jewel, a singer, songwriter, actress, poet, painter, philanthropist and daughter of an Alaskan cowboy singer-songwriter, also finds herself in the embrace of country music these days. Jewel is set apart for singing and writing all of her songs, with hits like "Who Will Save Your Soul," "You Were Meant for Me," "Foolish Games" and "Stronger Woman." She has received three Grammy Award nominations and has sold 27 million albums worldwide.
This show is sponsored by The Birmingham News, WBHM, WZZK and Viva Health.
