Valory Music Co. artist Jewel will embark on a cross-country tour this summer, presented by Country Financial. The Star Light Café Tour will find the three-time Grammy nominee performing acoustically in support of her sophomore country album, set to hit retailers June 8.
“I am so excited to hit the road as part of the Country Financial Road Trips and Guitar Picks concert series,” said Jewel. “It gives me a great opportunity to spend some time with the fans. I’ve spent the better part of my year writing and recording this new album. There is nothing more rewarding for me than getting the chance to perform some of my new songs along with the hits I’ve had over the course of my career. These shows really become a sneak peek into my songwriting and my life.”
Jewel’s first country album, Perfectly Clear, was released in June 2008 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard country charts. The new album, titled Sweet and Wild, maintains her country roots.
“There is no one better than Jewel at bringing the feel of an intimate living room setting to the theatre,” said Valory Music Co. President Scott Borchetta. “With nothing more than her acoustic guitar, witty storytelling and unmatched vocal ability, she brings you into the moment and keeps you there until the lights go up.”
For the 20-city Star Light Café Tour, Country Financial is teaming up with Jewel to provide her fans with unique concert and online offerings as part of its Road Trips and Guitar Picks concert series.
