Going To New Mexico Music Video Premiere

Jackie — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 06:57:08 +0000

Talented director, Brad Swenson of BlackBoxBlue, and I created this music video together for the song Going To New Mexico. We’re both Virgos and we fit the stereotype: critical, perfectionistic, and detail-oriented! Needless to say, we spent a lot of hours pouring over footage and nitpicking edits by a frame or two. After 5 months of bouncing ideas back and forth, well…I think we got something for you to see. We set out, just the two of us on location, to create a parallel story line between the dreamer and the dream: the city girl longing to escape someplace where she can forget her past for a while. We used only natural light. Due to time constraints we only got as far as Globe, AZ…but you can still pretend it’s The Land of Enchantment. We got really lucky with some of the shots and had that distinct feeling that we were in the right place at the right time. How else do you explain the train that whizzes by at just the right moment, or the accidental blurred lights, which later became a central motif, or stumbling upon the dilapidated corral only minutes after I project the idea that I’d love to find an old wood fence? We had a great time making this video for you! We hope you enjoy it!

I’m super excited to be hitting the road with my namesake and doppleganger, Jackie Bristow! I have so much respect for her as a songwriter and a hard-working independent musician. We both have birthdays in August, so we will be singing and celebrating all over Northern California! Whoot whoot! Check the tour page for details.

Jackie Opens For Tim & Nicki Bluhm!

Jackie — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 01:40:49 +0000

Last night was a special treat! I had the opportunity to open an intimate acoustic house concert for Tim Bluhm (The Mother Hips frontman) and Nicki Bluhm (Tim’s wife and incredible singer/songwriter). The event was put on by KC Turner Presents and hosted by the sweetest couple, Mike and Molly, who generously opened their beautiful home to a sold-out crowd! Here is a video from the show! I’m singing a song called Love Let Me In. It is a song I started on the piano while I was recording The Sky Inside. I learned to play it on guitar and finished writing it earlier this year.

Parachute

This is a new song called Parachute in raw form. This one’s definitely a contender for the next album.

First Look at Going to New Mexico

Jackie — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 12:08:19 +0000

At the end of March I spent a few days in Phoenix, AZ shooting a music video for Going To New Mexico. It was filmed by Brad Swenson of Blackbox Blue. He wrote a blog about it here. The video won’t be completed until June 2011. I’m anxious to share it with you! The raw footage looks great! Check out Brad’s post with more photos from the shoot.

Say Loreto

Jackie — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 05:00:52 +0000

I wrote a new song. It’s called Say Loreto…it’s going to be the title of my next album.

Say Loreto

We dance in a slow heat
Where the desert meets the sea
Say Loreto
My heart won’t know

We go where the water flows
Jet trails and saguaros
Say Loreto
My heart won’t know

Loreto
I don’t want to go home

Crimson sunset blue bonfire
We fall asleep in the ember light
Say Loreto
My heart won’t show

There are things I want to tell you
But tonight I’d rather lie down and smell you
Say Loreto
My heart won’t go

Loreto
I don’t want to go home

I’m not in love
I just couldn’t give you up in Loreto

Loreto
I don’t want to go home
Loreto
I don’t want to go home

No Paper Cranes Were Harmed In The Making Of This Music Video

Jackie — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 04:30:49 +0000

After countless afternoons brainstorming at Seattle’s Bauhaus Coffee, three full days of filming, endless hours of editing, and hundreds of Origami paper cranes later…

I am thrilled to present to you the music video for You Give Me Air. The video was produced, directed, and edited by Tyler Wilson of Mind Rite Films, with loads of help from Clyde Garrido, Jason Lorig, Bryce Schoonmaker, and Harris Hoffman. It was shot on location at Discovery Park and Trace Lofts in Seattle, WA.

A big, fat thank you to my sister Jessica and her friends who helped with the folding of the paper cranes.
