As a solo artist, he often performs acoustic-only "good old-fashioned sing-along" shows. His songs feature simple, poignant melodies, and quirky, satirical lyrics. BIOGRAPHY Poltz was born in Halifax , Nova Scotia , Canada and later immigrated with his family to Palm Springs , California . After graduating from the University Of San Diego with a degree in Political Science , he met Guitarist Robert Driscoll and formed The Rugburns. Poltz and his bandmates developed a local and national cult following by playing coffeehouses and bars. While performing dates at the Innerchange Coffeehouse in San Diego, he formed a professional and personal relationship with Jewel, frequently opening for her on tours, co-writing songs, and appearing in her Music Video for "You Were Meant For Me." In 1998, Poltz released his first solo album, '' One Left Shoe '' for Mercury Records . A disagreement in the artistic direction of his material led to him leaving the label and forming his own company, 98 Pounder Records . Five years later, he recorded '' Chinese Vacation '', an album heavily influenced by the events of September 11th and the murder of one of his closest friends. Recently, Poltz has also collaborated as a songwriter with A. J. Croce on Croce's 2004 album '' Adrian James Croce ''. TRIVIA
