Jewel plans to return to acting after touring. She played June Carter Cash in the 2013 Lifetime original movie, “Ring of Fire,” and has signed on with the Hallmark Channel for future films that will start production by 2017.
I have also been busy preparing for the first of several movies I will film for Hallmark channel, called The Fixer Upper Mystery series, where each movie builds on the last one. I play a female contractor named Shannon Hammer, whose keen eye for detail and natural curiosity helps her become a good mystery solver! It should be a lot of fun to film. Kase and I head to Toronto to film for the month of October.

Fans of the Alaska-born performer can see two different sides of Jewel the weekend of Jan. 12-14. On Thursday, she will perform an 8:30 p.m. concert inside the Fallsview Casino's world-class Avalon Theatre in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Three nights later, Jewel stars in "Framed for Murder: A Fixer Upper Mystery" at 9 p.m. on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel. The former promises "an evening of musical storytelling and infectious vocals," with singles including "Who Will Save Your Soul," "You Were Meant for Me," "Foolish Games," "Hands" and "Intuition." The latter is described accordingly: "When Lighthouse Cove renovation expert Shannon Hughes (Jewel) suspects foul play in the death of her friend and neighbor, a famous crime reporter ("Eureka's" Colin Ferguson) who is also her new client, pitches in to help her get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding the man's death - and the $10 million in jewels that might be hidden somewhere in his house."The film is based upon the novels of New York Time's bestselling-author Kate Carlisle. Hallmark has pegged "Framed for Murder" as the start of a new mystery movie franchise.On her way to New York City for a whirlwind media tour, Jewel shed a little light on her upcoming endeavors.Q: Tell us about this film project - what excited you about the script and what attracted you to the role?Jewel: I was excited about my character and how it incorporated a bit of musical background into the story, as well as being able to have some input into the role.Q: The Hallmark channels have upped the ante in recent years in terms of storytelling and casting. What can you say about working with Hallmark, and would you do it again?Jewel: I will most certainly do it again. I really enjoy being in one place for a month (during filming); it's very different than riding a bus around and being in 28 cities in a month like on tour.
