How much do you charge to perform?  Our fee varies, depending on the venue, the length of the program, whether or not live musicians accompany us or we use accompaniment CDs, and whether or not the program has to be customized with new music.   Anyone wishing to hire us, should contact our booking partner, Amalia LaViolette, at 636-225-5831, or e-mail us at jeweltones@musician.org for a quote.

How did you meet?  Some of us have known each other longer than others, but the event that brought all five of us together was a community theatre production of Noel Coward's operetta, Bitter Sweet, produced by the Hawthorne Players.   We were cast as best friends in that show, and we became very close during the process.  The director had actually chosen us partly because of the way our voices blended together, so it was very natural for us to continue looking for ways to sing together.  We eventually decided we wanted to put together a full-length concert for family and friends, which we performed in Spring of 2003.  To our delight, the concert was so popular that we started getting requests to keep performing it, and we have been working ever since.

When will you have a new full-length program?  We recently unveiled a brand new two-hour concert at Kirkwood United Church of Christ.  The concert was free and was "standing room only!"  The performance featured all new music, and the folks at Kirkwood UCC were so pleased that they invited us back in December to perform our holiday program.  The newest two-hour program was performed again at Community Christian Church, and we are in negotiations to perform it again later this year.

If my organization hires you to perform, do we have to use the full two-hour concert?  Absolutely not.  We can tailor our shows to meet your individual needs.  Typically, our shows can range anywhere from 45-minutes to two hours with a 15-minute intermission.
