Is Jewel on Alaska: The Last Frontier?
Sorry for '90s Jewel fans, but the popular soul singer is not a series regular on Alaska: The Last Frontier. However, in 2016, Jewel returned to her family’s homestead after nearly seven years away, which aired in three episodes.
At the time, the singer expressed her excitement to return to her hometown, telling Nash Country Daily, 'Oh my gosh, I was overjoyed to get to go back, but having a son [Kase, 7], I didn’t want to take him up there until he was old enough to remember it.''

She continued: "I was really happy to take him up there and show him where I’m from. I’ve always been homesick for Alaska. I think how I was raised made me the kind of person I am and allowed me to stay grounded. I was raised knowing it was not money or material things that make us happy, it’s what kind of humans we are. Striving every day to be a good human was important to me. I was happy to try to share the land and nature and that type of lifestyle with my son."

In 2018, the Grammy-nominated singer, her father, and brothers, Atz Lee and Nikos Kilcher, went on the road for the singer’s second annual Handmade Holiday Tour. The singer revealed in an interview with Wichita 89.1 Radio why she loves performing with her family.
"We all get to live on a bus together and do what we grew up doing, which is hand-making gifts for one another and singing. My son gets to see that tradition in our lives. I think, around the holidays, it's really important to create a connection,” she said, adding, “For me, that handmade aspect is really important."
