Jenny Mitchell - Carterton events Centre this FRIDAY 23rd

Wellington’s Jenny Mitchell is bringing her award-winning folk/alt-country sound to the Carterton Events Centre this Friday. Jenny will be joined by Wellington musicians Michael Muggeridge and Aaron Stewart – and special guest, Jenny’s younger sister, Nicola Mitchell.

Originally from Gore, Jenny’s music defies easy categorisation but if you admire music by genre-defying artists from Emmylou Harris to Kasey Chambers, you’ll love Jenny. Described by Rolling Stone as, “her best work yet,” her new album, Tug of War, was a 2022 Aotearoa Music Award Nominee and is home to the 2022 APRA Best Country Song; Trouble Finds a Girl.

The Bush & the Birds Tour is an extension of track 11 from her most recent album; a song that pays tribute to the sister’s late Grandad Bruce and a celebration of the love of the land, and the creatures that live in it, that he handed down to the Mitchell whānau. In the spirit of his legacy, Jenny will be donating 10% of show profits directly to Forest & Bird; NZ’s largest independent conservation organisation.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
