SONGWRITER
“… Crafting some of the most beautiful, compelling Americana today.”
“Jackie Bristow seems primed for success on the now global Americana scene with beautifully composed music and straight from the heart lyrics.”
“Bristow is a true original well worth your attention.”
“Blending Neil Finn’s airy pop smarts with Patty Griffin’s emotional directness and vibrancy.”
“And in the moving ‘Fallen Youth’ she gives Emmylou Harris a real run for her money.”
“Chances are that should you play this to somebody that listens to the crop of new/new-ish female country stars and they would scratch their heads and say in turn, ‘Gillian Welch…err no, Lucinda Williams… err no, Alison Krauss… o.k. I give up.’ Are they in for a pleasant surprise.”
“This album gets into your head, your heart and your muscles…. SHOT OF GOLD is simply stunning.”
“This is the Jackie Bristow that Jackie Bristow was always destined to be. She lets the river flow through her veins and allows herself to be carried along in its gentle but powerful current. There is respect for its awesome force, but no fear.”

Jackie announces the first single from her highly anticipated sixth studio album, GOLDMINE. The shimmering, soul-lifting new track “Let It Rain,” recorded in Nashville and produced by longtime collaborator Mark Punch at SoundPunch Studios, marks a moment of celebration and artistic return.
“Let It Rain” is harmony, heart, two voices, two sisters, an uplifting Americana track that represents a deeply personal milestone for Bristow. The song marks her first-ever recorded duet with her sister, Katrina Bristow, and was co-written with California-based songwriter Rosa Pullman. Melodic and emotionally uplifting, the track delivers warmth and accessibility while remaining grounded in Jackie’s signature Americana storytelling roots.
At the heart of the release is a rare and deeply resonant collaboration. While the sisters spent over a decade in their youth touring and performing together as The Bristow Sisters, “Let It Rain” captures their voices side by side in the studio for the first time. There is something timeless and powerful about sisters singing together — the blend is effortless, emotionally rich, and instantly authentic.
A Full-Circle Sister Story
Jackie and Katrina grew up singing side by side in the deep south of New Zealand. They first stepped onto a stage together at the NZ Gold Guitar Awards when Katrina was eight and Jackie was eleven. Their childhood was spent traveling throughout the South Island in the family’s old Ford Falcon, performing at festivals, rodeos, and country music competitions with the unwavering support of their parents.
“It was an incredible time in our lives,” Jackie reflects. “We were surrounded by a vibrant community of young singers and musicians. Those years shaped us.”
Now, decades later — after building lives and careers on opposite sides of the world — the sisters finally found themselves in the same country long enough to create music together again.
About the Song
Co-written by Jackie Bristow and acclaimed Los Angeles songwriter Rosa Pullman, “Let It Rain” is a song of release, renewal, and stepping fully into your best self. With its uplifting refrain — “Why worry, worry, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain” — the track invites listeners to surrender the past and embrace joy without hesitation.
“It felt like the perfect duet for us,” Jackie says. “There’s something very special about sisters singing together — a connection that can’t be created any other way.”

“SYDNEY DAYS” SINGLES
A series of vintage, originally recorded, acoustic-driven singles from my early career in Sydney. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed rediscovering them.
ON TOUR
MEET JACKIE
Like Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin and Bonnie Raitt, Jackie has created a body of work defined by finely shaded songs that are both deeply personal and quietly universal. Much of her catalog has been recorded with her long-time musical partner, Australian-born guitarist and producer Mark Punch.
American Songwriter has praised Jackie for “crafting some of the most beautiful, compelling Americana today.”
Her restless wanderlust informs five previous albums Thirsty (2002), Crazy Love (2007), Freedom (2010), Shot of Gold (2015), and Outsider (2022). Now, her sixth album, Goldmine, signals an uplifting commercial breakthrough, expanding Jackie’s Americana roots into a more accessible, melody-driven sound while staying true to her storytelling core.
Award-winning producer and musician Matt Fell, who produced Jackie’s debut album, reunites with Jackie and Mark Punch to “make the record we always wanted to make.” The collaboration marks a full-circle return to her early Sydney years and a renewed creative chemistry.
Another powerful reconnection appears on the album’s lead single, Let It Rain, a first-ever recorded duet with Jackie’s sister Katrina Bristow. Though the sisters spent a decade touring, performing, and competing together in their youth as The Bristow Sisters, this marks their first studio collaboration — and not their last, with further songs and future projects already underway.
Let It Rain is co-written with acclaimed California singer-songwriter Rosa Pullman, a longtime friend from Jackie’s Los Angeles days — another creative reconnection that deepens the album’s themes of renewal and return.
Over two decades, Jackie has toured extensively throughout the United States, New Zealand, and Europe, opening for artists including Bonnie Raitt, Boz Scaggs, Chris Isaak, The Steve Miller Band, John Oates, John Waite, Bettye LaVette, Foreigner, Art Garfunkel, Tommy Emmanuel, Shawn Mullins, and Rick Springfield, Warratahs while also sharing bills with Tami Neilson,Barry Saunders, and Elles Bailey.
Her music has appeared in major film and television recent placements including Euphoria, Young Sheldon, Kevin Can F**k Himself, and The Brokenwood Mysteries, her songs whose resonates on screen as powerfully as it does on stage.
“I’m not 25 anymore,” Jackie says. “I’ve got the experience in life and in the industry , I love writing songs and performing and I always want to keep the innocence alive.”
The road beckons again.
MEET JACKIE
The lure of the road has always been a defining force for singer-songwriter Jackie Bristow. She took her first musical steps in Gore, in New Zealand’s South Island, honed her craft in the pubs and clubs of Sydney, and ultimately found her voice in the United States, where she has built a reputation as a soulful, seductive independent recording artist and compelling live performer.
