SANDY SPRINGS, GA — Jewel's Handmade Holiday Tour will begin its 2018 series in November, and area residents will have a chance to catch the performance when the show hits the stage at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19 at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center.

"I am so honored to share some of the traditions I was raised with in Alaska on our family homestead," said Jewel, a Grammy-nominated songwriter, bestselling author and poet. "Building memories by sharing handmade moments. Creating unique gifts and sharing songs is a Kilcher family tradition we can't wait to share with others on this tour."

A true family affair, the tour marks the second annual Handmade Holiday Tour Jewel has embarked upon with her family members. Before the show, the tour will feature a unique and interactive gifting experience offering guests the chance to make handmade, one-of-a-kind holiday gifts.

Jewel has sold over 30 million albums to date and earned praise from fellow songwriters, including Loretta Lynn and Neil Young. She most recently toured with her album, "Picking Up the Pieces," sharing stories from her New York Times bestselling memoir, "Never Broken — Songs Are Only Half the Story."

Her father, singer/songwriter Atz Kilcher, stars with her family in Discovery Channel’s hit show "Alaska: The Last Frontier," which centers on the Kilcher family and their community outside Homer, Alaska. Started by patriarch Yule Kilcher, who immigrated from Europe during World War II and currently led by his sons, Otto and Atz, the family has lived on their land for four generations. The show also features the homesteaders who live nearby and interact with the Kilchers.
