Norah Jones is a musical prodigy, and when her debut album appeared in 2002 she became the artist to beat. Now, eight years later Jones continues to impress and showcase her success as a new addition to this summer’s hottest concert, the Lilith Fair Tour. The 32-date summer showcase recently added Loretta Lynn, Heart and Cat Power to the hearty feminine jaunt that includes Loretta Sia, Gossip, La Roux, Beth Orton, Ceci Bastida, Erin McCarley, Frazey Ford, Julia Othmer, Kate Nash, Lights, Missy Higgins, Lissie, Marina & the Diamonds, Priscilla Renea, Rosie Thomas, Melissa McClelland, Toby Lightman and Elizaveta, with more to come.

Artists of this generation are ecstatic to join in on this musical revolution – which will see Jones perform her most classic hits and The Fall tunes.

As “the first Lilith to be taken to the new generation,” Jones will be among the many extraordinary talents to return to the touring festival since its hiatus eleven years ago. Alongside some of the festivals founders – Sarah McLachlan and Sheryl Crow – the pop, jazz, rock, country and indie recruits will enjoy dates in Calgary, Seattle, San Diego, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Indianapolis and many others through the summer. “The 2010 Lilith Tour isn’t just a celebration of women in music, but a celebration of diverse female voices across all genres,” said Nettwerk Music Group CEO Terry McBride.

Meanwhile, in preparation for the summer tour Jones is supporting The Fall with a 36-date spring tour running through mid-May. Visiting big city arenas like the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles, Seattle’s Paramount Theatre, the Fillmore in San Francisco, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Phoenix’s Dodge Theatre and others, Jones will maintain her star status on the scene by playing several of her hits from The Fall. A departure from her norm in this fourth album, Jones walked away from her former band to work with producer/engineer Jacquire King and songwriters Ryan Adams and Will Sheff.

Born in Brooklyn to Ravi Shankar, a famous sitar player, Jones was raised by her mother in Texas listening to the sounds of Billie Holiday and Bill Evans. Though she was surrounded by country music, she started visiting jazz in high school while at the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, where she stood out as a jazz artist.

Though she earned herself several musical awards during her formative years, enough to probably earn her recognition in the recording world, Jones went to the University of North Texas to study jazz piano. Drifting in and out of coffeehouses the summer of her sophomore year, Jones never returned to college and started singing with Wax Poetic, where she met her regular band members. Come Away with Me, her debut album recorded with Arif Mardin and Craig Street, earned Jones serious critical acclaim and eight Grammy Awards, leading to commercial exposure. She followed up the multi-platinum debut with 2004′s Feels like Home and 2007′s Not Too Late.
