MULTI-PLATINUM SINGER /SONGWRITER JEWEL
TO PERFORM TWO CHARITABLE CONCERTS AT NASHVILLE’S LEGENDARY
 BLUEBIRD CAFÉ ON APRIL 28TH

All Proceeds From the Concert Benefit “Project Clean Water”
A Charity Founded and Supported by Jewel


Recording artist and philanthropist, Jewel, will perform two shows at the legendary Bluebird Café in Nashville, TN, to benefit the charity she founded over a decade ago, Project Clean Water. Jewel will perform a very special acoustic set at both 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.  Tickets are available at the Bluebird Café’s website www.bluebirdcafe.com

“I’m thrilled to be performing at the Bluebird and supporting a cause so dear to my heart, Project Clean Water,” said Jewel.  “So many country songwriters I admire have performed at the café.  It’s wonderful to perform some of my favorite compositions in such an intimate setting and help those in need at the same time.”

Jewel founded Project Clean Water in 1997Having experienced homelessness as a teenager, Jewel became ill and couldn’t afford to buy the bottled water she needed for her sick kidneys.  She then realized it was difficult to obtain clean water in the United States, and discovered it was a huge problem globally.  She has been relentless in her efforts to bring safe water to those in need and create awareness of clean water shortages around the world. 

Project Clean Water has recently partnered with Virgin Unite and the Voss Foundation to create the "Give A Drop" campaign. Donations of $5.00 can be made by texting the message "DROP" to phone number 85944. Money raised through text donations will benefit the partnership, which is currently working in Pel in the Dogon region of Mali, where 40 water retention structures were recently completed. This spring, work will also begin to help rural villages in southeast Ethiopia expand their access to clean water.

Maintaining her country roots, Jewel is currently finishing her second country music album scheduled for release in June 2010.  The upcoming project is the follow-up album to her #1 Billboard-Charting Perfectly Clear, which was released in June 2008. 

Jewel  lives on a working ranch in Stephenville, Texas with her husband, World Champion bull-riding superstar, Ty Murray.

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding.
