Jewel & Melissa Etheridge

Four-time GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter, actress, author and mental health expert whose life story — from homelessness to discovery in a coffee shop to selling millions of albums—is as compelling as her music. Through her career, Jewel has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, earned 26 Music Award nominations, including GRAMMYs, American Music Awards, MTV Awards, VH1 Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and Country Music Awards.

 

Melissa Etheridge stormed onto the American rock scene in 1988 with the release of her critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, which led to an appearance on the 1989 Grammy Awards show. For several years, her popularity grew around such memorable originals as "Bring Me Some Water," "No Souvenirs" and "Ain't It Heavy," for which she won a GRAMMY in 1992. Etheridge hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am (1993). The collection featured the massive hits, "I'm the Only One" and "Come to My Window," a searing song of longing that brought Etheridge her second.
