Jewel is a three time Grammy® Award nominee, she has won an American Music Award and an MTV Video Music Award. She has sold twenty-seven million albums worldwide and almost twenty million in the United States alone including Pieces of You and Perfectly Clear. This spring, Jewel debuted her first-ever independent release, Lullaby, in a partnership with Fisher-Price® and Somerset Entertainment. Lullaby was produced by Jewel and recorded at her home studio in Stephenville, TX. The 15-track album features 10 self-penned songs and a few standards including beautiful renditions of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." The acoustic record is reminiscent of Jewel's twelve-time platinum album Pieces of You. "This isn't just a kids' album, it's really a mood album - perfect to relax to at the end of a long day," said Jewel. This will be Jewel's first performance at the Van Wezel. Be one of the first to see her here!
