Jewel to Headline Family-Themed Skating Show

Jewel, a four-time Grammy nominated singer-songwriter, will perform live in a family-themed show featuring such skating stars as Olympic gold medalists Ekaterina Gordeeva and Ilia Kulik along with two-time Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan and many more. All of the skaters, and Jewel herself, are parents and both children and parents will be featured in the show. The show, which was originally scheduled for Atlantic City on November 3, was moved to GCU due to Hurricane Sandy. Grand Canyon University officials graciously offered to host the show at the arena on Sunday, November 11 at 5 p.m.

Jewel is also a mom. She and husband Ty Murray are the proud parents of a son, Kase, who was born in July 2011. Jewel released an album of lullabies, which features 11 self-penned songs and a few standards including "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," followed by a second children's album, The Merry Goes Round in 2011. Her exquisite and enchanting voice gives even the most timeless pieces new meaning.

"I am so excited to be performing songs from my children's albums and sharing the songs I wrote for my son Kase with other parents and children." said Jewel.

The combination of stellar skating and beautiful music will come alive with both children and adults bringing the magic of parenthood to life on the ice in this one-of-a-kind show.
The show will be broadcast nationally on NBC as a part of the Pandora NBC Skating Series.
