LOS ANGELES, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury Insurance (NYSE: MCY) and Live Nation have partnered again to connect music fans with the artists they love through Mercury's "My First Car" series, an intimate look at some of the best known musical artists and their first memories behind the wheel.
"Getting to know your favorite musician on a personal level is always exciting, especially when you realize how much you might have in common with them," said Erik Thompson Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Mercury Insurance. "The My First Car video series brings fans and artists together through the power of shared experience. So many of us have vivid memories about owning our very first car, so we wanted to ask some of our favorite artists about theirs."
Jewel is the first artist featured in the My First Car video series.
"My first car was a 1969 VW bus," said Jewel. "It was my first real ride and it also became my home so it was a pretty big deal. I was homeless at the time [and] this van represented safety and shelter. I wrote a lot of songs in that van and it's amazing to think that those songs became my first album. Those songs ended up changing the entire trajectory of my life. I will always think of a lot of music when I think about van."
