Steve Poltz is a singer and songwriter originally from Nova Scotia, raised in Southern California, and now making his home in Nashville. He made a name for himself first with his band The Rugburns and later, more famously, as co-writer with Jewel including the mega hit “You Were Meant For Me.”
If you are of a certain age, you will remember the video for that song. A spare room with Jewel playing guitar and a dude dressed like 1996. That dude is Steve Poltz himself! Fifteen-year-old me would be losing his mind.
Hell, 44-year-old me is losing his mind at this opportunity. Steve’s latest record Stardust & Satellites is outstanding!
We recorded this episode after Steve’s enchanting set during Suwannee Spring Reunion 2025 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park.
Everyone, it is my great honor to bring you my conversation with Steve Poltz!
(The song you are hearing in this episode is "It's Baseball Season" from Steve's excellent record Stardust & Satellites.)
