Jewel Tickets
One of the more dynamic and eclectic artists in music today, Jewel continues to marvel her fans with her stunning voice. TickCo has your tickets to see Jewel live in concert!
Born in Utah and raised in Alaska, Jewel Kilcher and her father sometimes sang in bars and taverns together when she was young. This was when she learned to yodel, a style of singing that became very prevalent in her work as an adult.
Jewel studied operatic voice and learned to play the guitar at the Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, Michigan. After leaving school she travelled around the country, living out of her van and doing an occasional street performance or small gig. It was at a cafe in California when famed bass player Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers saw her perform and was moved by the power of her voice, and a few months later after an Atlantic Records rep saw her perform, she signed her first professional contract.
She released her debut album Pieces of You in 1995 at the tender young age of 19. A beautiful and powerful record, Pieces of You stayed on the Billboard Hot 200 Album Chart for an amazing two years, with the singles You Were Meant for Me and Foolish Games peaking at Number Two on the U.S. Singles Chart. The album was a huge multi-platinum hit, eventaully becoming a 12-time platinum disc. Jewel was a bonafide star.
To her credit, Jewel could have continued to churn out albums with the same exact type of sound, but she really is an idealist and makes music that she wants to create, rather than catering to the masses. She has created music that has crossed over to several different genres, as well as writing poetry and being extremely active in charitable causes. She really is an artist first and foremost, one with a strong ideological base and a strong set of ethics that she clings to, making her an artist to truly respect and admire.
Don't miss the opportunity to see live this unique musician, Jewel puts on an amazing show. Great seats are available today from TickCo!
