I caught up to Jewlia aka Charming Hostess after years of mere fandom — it started with Glenn Smith of KSZU if that dates it — a couple years ago at David Katznelson’s pop up in the outer Mission. I wanted to fly her to Chicago to perform for the Morton and Edna Weiss Judaica Collection at something Israel. Anyways, mazel to Jewlia.
I also tried to book her to open for Johnny A at The Mitch in January, 2020 but her partner told me she was too ill to consider any offers. Andrew Gilbert wrote a nice obituary about Jewlia.
