From the Jewel Mailing List:
Jewel dropped in on Steve Poltz's show on Friday night at The Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles and sat in for an hour or so, resurrecting a few old songs during a set of her own and collaborating on quite a few songs with Steve and Spirit Tour guitarist Doug Pettibone. A good time was had by all 50 (or less!) people in attendance. Jewel's setlist is posted at the
jeweljk.com setlist page.
On jeweljk.com, there are two dance remixes available to stream via real audio and windows media. These mixes were played in clubs last year. http://www.jeweljk.com/low/home.html
The Atlantic Records CD maxi-single containing these "Serve The Ego" remixes and several additional remixes is available from the www.jeweljk.com store.
Jewel's new single will be released April 7, 2003. It was named Intuition. The final mix was finished March 7, 2003.
Information posted on vh1.com and other sites claiming that there is a July 13 tour date in Maine are false. Jewel's management went on record saying as such along with pointing out that no tour dates for the summer have been scheduled yet.

From Jewel's Management:
We hope you are enjoying our new Lenedra J. Carroll guest artist feature
at jeweljk.com. If you've followed the links to Lenedra's site, you've
discovered that she is an innovative businesswoman, singer and visionary,
in addition to being manager and mother of Jewel. In 2001 she added author
to that extensive list of accomplishments with her first publication, The
Architecture of All Abundance. The new paperback edition has just been
released and is available now at the jeweljk.com store at a special price
of $12.00.
The Architecture of All Abundance is the story of one woman's journey from
impoverished, health-challenged mother of three to vibrant, dynamic CEO of
a global entertainment and humanitarian enterprise, yet it is much more
than that. Through richly told personal stories and insightful narrative,
it illustrates innovative ways to create lives that are abundant,
sustainable, and deeply satisfying. (You can enjoy excerpts from the book
at Lenedra's feature on the jeweljk.com "favorites page," as well as at
her own website, www.lenedrajcarroll.com.)
Lenedra's book has received the prestigious Nautilus award which
recognizes books containing an exceptional literary contribution to
conscious living and positive social change.
From Jewel's management:
While these things are always subject to change, we thought you'd
appreciate knowing that we are now shooting for Tuesday, June 3rd, as the
release date of Jewel's next, as yet untitled album.
Jewel appears twice in the March 20th issue of Rolling Stone.
You'll find a photo and blurb about the new album on the "In The Studio"
page and she participates in this months "Juke Box Jury."
Jewel will perform on the Today Show's Outdoor Concert Series on
Friday, May 30th. This program airs from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. est on NBC.
Jewel commented in a recent rolling stone magazine article that she was asked to do "Picture." Of course, the song was performed by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. (there is an alternate version as well) Personally, I doubt Kid Rock asked Jewel to do that song. It is not her style, and quite frankly the song would not be nearly as good if Jewel were involved in the project. I think Jewel's comments in Rolling Stone were based in jealousy. It is a shame to see Jewel act jealous over a song.
Since Jewel got to review the song, I am going to as well. I found "Picture" to be an excellent song. I enjoy listening to it quite a bit. I am not a huge Kid Rock fan, but I do love Sheryl Crow. She has a great voice, and its aged a lot better than most. I think there are only three artists that I seriously buy ever album from.. Jewel, U2, and Sheryl Crow.
