Jackie Bristow – Believe In The Magic Tour 2026
New Zealand-born singer-songwriter Jackie Bristow stands out as a compelling voice in contemporary Americana and country music, known for her warm and expressive vocals paired with heartfelt storytelling. Raised in Gore, the country music capital of New Zealand, she has cultivated a sound that gracefully bridges country traditions with folk, blues, and Americana influences. After developing her craft in Australia and the United States — where she became part of a vibrant Americana scene — Bristow has gained recognition sharing stages with respected artists such as Bonnie Raitt and UK favourite Elles Bailey.
Her musical journey spans over two decades, highlighted by a catalogue of acclaimed albums including Thirsty, Crazy Love, Freedom, Shot of Gold, and Outsider. Her songs transition seamlessly between intimate clubs and festival stages, making her connection to audiences heartfelt and genuine. Bristow’s latest chapter is marked by the uplifting single Let It Rain, a duet with her sister Katrina that introduces her forthcoming sixth studio album, Goldmine. Whether performing solo or alongside her long-time collaborator and producer Mark Punch, she consistently offers deeply authentic live performances cherished by country and Americana fans.
The Believe In The Magic Tour 2026 offers UK audiences an opportunity to experience Jackie Bristow’s evocative songwriting and dynamic presence firsthand. The tour, which includes a broad European and UK itinerary, features performances with Mark Punch, whose own credentials as a guitarist, songwriter, and producer have significantly influenced Australasian and international country and Americana music landscapes.
If you appreciate artists who blend evocative country storytelling with a soulful Americana edge — those in the vein of Patty Griffin, Bonnie Raitt, and Mary Chapin Carpenter — Jackie Bristow’s music will resonate deeply. Her nuanced voice and reflective lyrics promise a live show full of emotional depth and timeless musicianship.
