His songs have been among the longest running ever on the Billboard Top 100 and they regularly appear in movie soundtracks, television shows, and even the odd commercial.</span></p>
<p><span><span>As relentless as he is in concert, he is also the guy who famously co-wrote the timeless ballad &ldquo;You Were Meant For Me&rdquo; with platinum-selling songwriter Jewel. Of course, because we&rsquo;re talking about Steve Poltz, it should surprise no one to learn that the song was written on a lazy Mexican beach, where Poltz and Jewel were soon snapped up and sequestered by Mexican Federales and required to witness and eventually assist in a large marijuana bust on the beach. Don&rsquo;t believe it? See for yourself in the pictures on his web site.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>This is a great chance to see a fun performance in an intimate setting. Mark your calendars!&nbsp;</span></span></p>
