Originally from Gore and now calling Wellington home, Jenny Mitchell is a dynamic storyteller who is rapidly capturing fans across the motu and the globe. Her music is full of warmth, truth and family harmonies - think the best of The Chicks + Norah Jones.

Described by Rolling Stone as, “her best work yet,” her 2022 album, Tug of War, is a deep and emotional dive for the artist and the listener. With songs inspired by new love, change, loss and her discovery of Lucille Ball, it finds Jenny at her most raw and honest while creating a musical work that’s as rich and fertile as the farming country where she grew up. Tug of War was released via Cooking Vinyl Australia and received nominations for a 2023 Australian Golden Guitar and Aotearoa Music Award and features the pivotal release of Trouble Finds a Girl. A collaboration with Tami Neilson, the stirring anthem directly addresses the mistreatment of women in the music industry and was crowned the 2022 APRA Best Country Song.

No stranger to the road, Jenny was an official showcase artist at BIGSOUND 2022 (AU) and Folk Alliance International 2023 (U.S) and has supported artists including Fanny Lumsden (AU) and Nadia Reid.

"She exudes confidence and passion for her mahi... she clearly recognises the importance of creating a show," 13th Floor

Her most recent touring project, The Bush & the Birds Tour, traveled throughout NZ in support of conservation organisation Forest & Bird. An extension of track 11 from Tug of War, the tour was an ode to her late Grandfather’s love of the land and generated over $2000 in donations for Forest & Bird.  

Jenny Mitchell is a gifted storyteller with the grit and experience to wear her heart proudly on her sleeve. With a sound that No Depression describes as, “poetry that dominates a beautiful melody,” Jenny is comfortable with a country twang or softly spoken ballad. Her music defies easy categorisation but if you admire music by genre-defying artists from Emmylou Harris to Kasey Chambers, you’ll love Jenny Mitchell.
