After 3 months of anticipation... the Deer Valley Music Festival has officially begun. And none other than Jewel opened up the festival! To be honest, the loyal country fan that I a
m, didn't really know much about Jewel. In the past, I've recognized a few of her songs and thought they were pretty darn good. But last night, I discovered the girl can sing! Her voice was amazing. I don't know that I've ever been to a concert like last night where the performer outdid herself, song after song after song. I'm now a converted Jewel believer...

Deer Valley concert attenders are serious picnic-ers. Our fare of cheese, meats, grapes, crackers was great, but compared meekly to the salmon, tomato and mozzarella cheese salad, cracked wheat bread with pesto, and gourmet chocolate cake the group in front of us downed. And I figure as a whole, the Jewel crowd consumed more wine last night than the rest of Utah combined. Gratitude shout out to Dboy for the invite. It was great!

I am super envious of your concert, especially the Jewel part! I love Jewel. I think my favorite part of your adventure was the Lady who gave you a private concert about her life. That just doesn't happen everyday.
The Jewel concert experience cracked me up. Your description was hilarious. I onlyl wish I could have heard the spontaneous song the lady next to you performed.
