Jackie Bristow - Aotearoa Tour

Singer/songwriter Jackie Bristow is a southern girl at heart. Born and bred in the South Island of New Zealand this Kiwi has found her wings. Beautiful songbird that she is, Jackie has flown halfway around the world with nothing more than her guitar and a dream. Jackie returns to home with a 12 date tour before heading back to the USA for a national release of her 3rd album "Freedom" and a prestigious tour opening for world famous guitarist Tommy Emmanuel on the west and east coast of the USA Feb 2011.

Jackie's live reputation is such that... "It didn't take long sitting there in Hollywood's Hotel Cafe to realise that Jackie Bristow was special and she brings to the stage a soulful voice, acoustic guitar with pop accessibilities and folk sensibilities. She offers rooted music that is fresh and modern and uniquely her own". She has impressed audiences around the world when opening for the likes of Madeleine Peyroux, Phoebe Snow, Jimmy Webb, Art Garfunkel, Renee Geyer, Mark Seymour, Daniel Lanois, James Reyne.

Album "Freedom" recorded between Austin and Sydney and was co-produced by Bristow and Mark Punch. Musicians on the album include, J. J. Johnson (John Mayer), Mark Punch (Kasey Chambers), Chris Maresh (Eric Johnson), Matt Fell (Josh Pike), Jeff Young (Steely Dan), Clayton Doley, Rob Woolf (Jimmy Barnes).

Jackie’s songs have been used repeatedly in Australian and New Zealand film and television hit shows such as The Secret Life Of Us, Home And Away, Outrageous Fortune, Shortland Street, and Go Big. Her track This is Australia won Tourism Australia’s Song Competition, which subsequently featured in a worldwide promotional campaign. Her video's have been added to ME Television (Texas) J2 (NZ) and has had charting songs on CMC (Australia).

At once heartfelt and sophisticated, Jackie Bristow combines subtle but beautiful melodies and hooks that hypnotise the listener, demand complete surrender and then stick around with the backbone of a real friend.
