Jackie is delighted to continue nurturing a new generation of songwriters with her brand Jackie B and The Mini Band. Following on from 2022's Shooting Star EP, a new group of young Wakatipu singers have worked with Jackie to write and record this latest Mini Band EP of sparkling, radio-ready pop songs called Summertime. First single Spooky Hollywood already released late 2023 with one of Edmund Iffland’s incredible videos, and his work will also help lead single Summertime to greet the world. Get ready to catch some dreams and soak up some sunshine!

The blend of Jackie’s music and vocals with the children’s voices and Mark Punch’s quality production has a fresh and commercially appealing sound. Jackie reports that there has been a lot of excitement and interest around the project and that for her personally, it has been such a joyful experience writing and recording with the kids. The members of Jackie B and the Mini Band have emerged from the songwriting workshops she has run with SongCatcher, which is her creative songwriting programme focused on children 7 to 11 years old, teaching small groups how to write a song and express themselves through songwriting and singing.
