‘SISTER’ FEAT. THE MITCHELL TWINS
NATIONAL TOUR WITH KASEY CHAMBERS COMMENCES NEXT WEEK
“I am a sister, always and now
from your first steps, to my last bow
I’m a sister, always a sister”
On the eve of International Women’s Day, award-winning New Zealand singer songwriter Jenny Mitchell has released her uplifting new single ‘Sister’ available now via Civilians.
Honouring their relationship and unbreakable bond, the track features Jenny’s sisters, The Mitchell Twins, Nicola and Maegan and is accompanied by a gorgeous video shot in New Zealand.
Jenny explains, “I wrote this one with my little sister Nicola and we had so much fun thinking about all the different ‘roles’ you play as a sister. It was recorded in New Zealand, produced by our Tasmanian friend Matt Fell and is jampacked with harmonies from both Nicola and Maegan.”
On the clip, Jenny goes on to say “We spent a day shooting the video at my family home in New Zealand. The tree hut, swing set, chicken coop and everything in between are the real deal. They’re the places we grew up exploring. Our little mini-mes and their Mum’s came to our place for the day and between us + my longtime collaborators, Scrambler (Wade McLelland and Bradon McCaughey), we created something that feels extremely nostalgic to me and just full of joy and our version of girlhood.”
Jenny is now just days out from the commencment of her special guest spot on Kasey Chambers’ national Backbone album tour which will visit every state in Australia over 5 months. The shows in Brisbane, Sale (VIC), Wyong (NSW) and the first show at Palms at Crown in Melbourne sold out. Tickets are selling fast for Perth, Penrith (NSW) Port Pirie (SA) Devonport and Launceston.
Having carved herself a strong following in both her home country of New Zealand and here in Australia, this single follows a busy past year for Jenny which included the release of her singles ‘Where The Water’s Cold’ and ‘Square & Plain’, a performance at the Groundwater Country Music Festival on the Gold Coast and a tour support slot with Australian country star Adam Harvey across NSW. Jenny also received a scholarship from the Australian Academy of Country Music and Sister Cities Nashville, to perform at Nashville’s iconic AmericanaFest and co-write with Nashville locals in September last year.
Originally from Gore, Jenny’s musical upbringing was firmly planted in country but her songwriting and material is a unique blend of folk, Americana and country. After winning the NZ Gold Guitar Award at just 18, Jenny has steadily carved herself a place in the New Zealand and Australian music scenes. Her 2022 album Tug Of War earned her a legion of new fans in Australia, showcasing her emotive songwriting. With an Aotearoa Music Award and 2 x Australian Golden Guitar nominations under her belt, the future is bright and bold for this unique artist.
