According to Atlantic Records, Jewel will be playing guitar through the entire performance--something she hadn’t been able to do since April, when she was http://www.soundspike.com/story/185>thrown from a horse in Texas and broke her collarbone. She had been gradually increasing her guitar-playing time during her recent band concerts.
Despite her injuries, Jewel began her 2002 world tour with a series of Asian dates in late March and early April, followed by a tour of Europe.
Jewel is supporting her fourth album, “This Way,” which was released in November of 2001 and is certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Scooter Scudieri, an artist who performed during Soul City Cafe ArtBeat, opens the acoustic tour’s first seven dates, concluding his run in Salt Lake City. Soul City Cafe was developed by Jewel with her mother and manager, Lenedra Carroll, to showcase developing musical and spoken-word artists.
