Jackie Bristow.

Jackie Bristow’s biography connects three places in her musical path: Gore in New Zealand’s South Island, the pubs and clubs of Sydney, and the United States, where the site says she developed her voice as a recording artist. It also quotes American Songwriter’s description of her work as “beautiful” and “compelling” Americana. That combination gives a listener a grounded starting point without treating a first Signals appearance as a first career milestone.

Her catalog includes Thirsty (2002), Crazy Love (2007), Freedom (2010), Shot of Gold (2015) and Outsider (2022). The site presents Goldmine as the sixth album, describing a move toward a more accessible, melody-led sound while keeping Bristow’s storytelling at the center. The page also connects the project to producer and musician Matt Fell, who previously worked on her debut.

The current release to start with is “Believe In The Magic.” Bristow’s site calls it a soul-country song shaped by Americana storytelling, classic soul and folk influences. The recording was made in Nashville with longtime collaborator Mark Punch at SoundPunch Studio. The same page announces a 21-date Believe in the Magic Tour across Germany, Austria, France, Hungary and the United Kingdom during 2026.

“Let It Rain,” identified as Goldmine’s lead single, brings Bristow together with her sister Katrina for their first recorded duet. The biography says the sisters spent a decade touring, performing and competing as The Bristow Sisters when they were younger. It also credits California singer-songwriter Rosa Pullman as a co-writer, making the song part of the site’s broader theme of creative reconnection.

Bristow’s site describes more than two decades of touring across the United States, New Zealand and Europe, including opening slots for Bonnie Raitt, Boz Scaggs, Chris Isaak, the Steve Miller Band and John Oates. It also lists placements in Euphoria, Young Sheldon, Kevin Can F**k Himself and The Brokenwood Mysteries. For a new listener, the official single and the Goldmine-era material are the clearest supported entry points.
