Nashville Symphony Welcomes Jewel, 11/11-13
By: Nicole Rosky Nov. 01, 2010
One of the biggest-selling acts of the past two decades, singer-songwriter Jewel will appear with the Nashville Symphony November 11-13 at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena. Backed by the orchestra and guest conductor Matt Catingub, the singer will survey her prolific career, from her 1995 debut Pieces of You to her latest collection, Sweet and Wild. Audiences can expect to hear everything from early hits like "Who Will Save Your Soul" to classic tunes by Cole Porter.
Hailed by the New York Times as a "songwriter bursting with talents," Jewel has developed a reputation as a charismatic live performer, earning the respect of artists such as Merle Haggard, Bob Dylan and Neil Young. In 2008, Jewel became a country star with the release of her hit album Perfectly Clear. More recently, she has been tapped to serve as host of a new TV program on the Bravo network. Tentatively titled Going Platinum, the show will follow 12 musicians as they battle through a series of songwriting challenges testing their creativity, patience and drive. As host, Jewel will provide feedback to contestants and draw on her own past experiences as a struggling songwriter. The series is currently in production and is scheduled to premiere in 2011.
Jewel's November 11-13 performance at Allen Arena is part of the Nashville Symphony's Bank of America Pops Series. Tickets range from $19 to $104 and are available at NashvilleSymphony.org or by phone at 615.687.6400. The Nashville Symphony offers inexpensive, round-trip shuttles running from Franklin and Belle Meade to the concert venue. A round-trip ticket is $10 cash per person. Seating is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
