Jackie
Bristow is pleased to announce she
will be returning to her native shores in March with Australian musician and
long-time collaborator Mark
Punch.
From the Northern reaches of Leigh to the southern depths of Invercargill,
Jackie's tour culminates in Wellington and Auckland where she will open for
legendary blues singer-songwriter Bonnie
Raitt.
At once heartfelt and sophisticated, Jackie's songs combine subtle but
beautiful melodies and hooks that hypnotise the listener, then sticking around
like the backbone of a real friend.
Her 2016 album Shot
Of Gold was released in New Zealand and the U.S. and
garnered high praise with American magazine Vents calling it 'simply
stunning' and Graham Reid from NZ Herald awarding it 4 stars.
Jackie's live performances captivate audiences, her soulful
voice, well crafted songs and natural command of the room a testament to
the commitment to her craft and to the many concert halls, festivals,
and listening rooms she has played.
In 2016 Bristow was honoured to tour parts of the USA,
opening for Tommy
Emmanuel and the Steve Miller Band and she has previously played support for
such legendary names as Rick
Springfield, Phoebe Snow, Bonnie Raitt and Art Garfunkel to
name a few.
Don't miss the opportunity to catch her in a town near you.
