Jackie Bristow
One of Nashville's latest transplants, singer-songwriter Jackie Bristow is making waves in the Americana music scene. At once heartfelt and sophisticated, Bristow combines subtle and beautiful melodies with hooks that hypnotize the listener, demand complete surrender, and then stick around with the backbone of a real friend.
Bristow was born in New Zealand and transplanted to Australia before landing in the United States. She has already had the honor to be the opening act for many of her musical heroes. Opening for Bonnie Raitt in New Zealand on her 2013 "Slipstream" tour was a dream-come-true. Bristow was invited back in 2017 to join Raitt on her "Dig in Deep" tour. She also opened for Foreigner in 2017 and the Steve Miller Band in the 2016.
Bristow did a lengthy tour opening for internationally-acclaimed guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel in 2011. She has also supported many other well-known artists including Marcia Ball, Marc Cohn, Art Garfunkel, Bettye LaVette, John Oates, Madeline Peyroux, Phoebe Snow, and Jimmy Webb, among others.
Bristow's live performances captivate audiences. One reviewer of her show on the Tommy Emmanuel tour wrote: "Opening for a musical giant like Emmanuel would seem a daunting task, but Bristow was relaxed as her soulfully-seductive melodies reverberated within the auditorium. Her beautiful voice and earnest songs resonated with the audience, and they applauded her eagerly. Near the end of the show, Bristow joined Emmanuel on stage for an amazing duet that received a standing ovation.
Bristow's songs have been used in film and television shows in Australia and New Zealand. Her credits include "Go Girls," "The Secret Life of Us," "Home and Away," "Outrageous Fortune," "Shortland Street," and "Go Big." Her original song "This is Australia" won Tourism Australia's nationwide competition and was featured in its worldwide promotional campaigns for three years. Songs from the "Crazy Love" and "Freedom" albums were programmed into rotation at 7,000 Starbucks locations nationwide in the US.
In 2014, Bristow was awarded New Zealand Southland Music Ambassador of the Year. She has proven to be an artist who shows no signs of stopping. Bristow has released four albums: "Shot of Gold" (2016), "Freedom" (2011), "Crazy Love" (2008) and "Thirsty" (2002). She is currently recording what will be her fifth album in Nashville, working with producers Viktor Krauss and Rick Price. It is scheduled to be released this year.
