Jewel began playing together while they were in middle school. The band had their friends call into the local radio station to play their first single. Jewel started playing at the local club Guidebook. The guitaristdiscovered his love of music by listening to his mom's record collection.

The new project from Jewel has been heavily influenced by singers of the 1980s. The band is in the beginning of the tour promoting for their newest album.

The years of paying their dues paid off when Jewel signed a record deal. All the members quit their other jobs to focus on their album. Jewel’s first release climbed the charts quickly, giving them national exposure. The band is now a huge draw wherever they go.

Jewel accepted that they were truly working musicians when the group’s first fan club was started by Sandra Zadra in 1976. The fan club started out small with just a handful of members, generally localized to the area around Charleston, but the creation the group’s website by Amy Anderson, along with the first real national marketing campaign, saw the membership to grow into the thousands.

Jewel respects the fact that their fans love their previous releases, so they go to great effort to incorporate the older hits with the latest ones. The group is sure to schedule a concert at Babe in Sacramento every time they tour because they used to play there all the time before they made it big. TheSeats.com allows fans to stop at one place online and find all the information they need. The site has Jewel tickets, the touring schedule, and seating charts for concerts.
