Do you love James Dolan’s funky grooves and "Who Will Save Your Soul" singer Jewel? Well, here's some news that’s going to rock your world.

The New York Knicks owner was flagged down by TMZ and was asked about his band, JD & the Straight Shot. Dolan dropped the exclusive that they’d be opening for Jewel:

Dolan’s band just released their newest album "Ballyhoo!" last week, featuring music like the single "Better Find A Church," in which Dolan duets in a fedora.

And while Grammy-nominated Jewel may not carry the weight she used to back in the late ’90s, the singer-songwriter's last album, "Picking up the Pieces," hit number 28 on the Billboard 200. Though why she would choose Dolan’s band to open for her on tour is still a mystery — they’re not as awful as Dolan is as an owner, but it's still an odd mix. Perhaps money spoke louder than talent in this situation.

Jewel’s been all over the sports world recently, as she’s reportedly dating NFL quarterback Charlie Whitehurst.

Dolan was also asked if he’d ever take the New York Knicks to Latvia to visit Kristaps Porzingis’ home country, and he said he’d be open to the idea. So that’d be neat.
