House Concerts returning to SYLA Presents!
SYLA Presents is super excited to reopen after the long COVID hiatus with one of our favorite artists:
Jackie Bristow
With special guest, Mark Punch
Saturday, October 8. Gather 6:30 PM, Music at 7:30 PM
Oakland, CA RSVP: [email protected]
The Music:
At once heartfelt and sophisticated, Jackie Bristow combines subtle but beautiful melodies and hooks that hypnotize the listener, demand complete surrender and then stick around with the backbone of a real friend. Born in New Zealand but then transplanted to Australia and now the United States with a guitar, suitcase and songs, Jackie travels light but packs a heavy punch.
Jackie has had the honor to be the opening act for many of her musical heros. July 2016 Jackie opened for the Steve Miller Band in the US. Opening for Bonnie Raitt in New Zealand on her 2013 "Slipstream" tour – and again in 2017 - was a dream-come-true. Jackie also did a lengthy tour opening for internationally-acclaimed guitar legend Tommy Emmanuel in 2011. Jackie and Tommy played to sold-out theaters across the US. Jackie then rejoined Tommy on his nationwide tours in 2015 and 2016. Jackie has been the opening act for many other well-known names over the years: Marc Cohn, John Oates, John Waite, Bettye Lavette, B.J. Thomas, Joe Ely, Marcia Ball, Charlie Robison, Rick Springfield, Bob Schneider, Jimmy Lafave, Euge Groove, Ruthie Foster, Howard Jones, Herbert Gronemeyer, Phoebe Snow, Art Garfunkel, Daniel Lanois,Madeline Peryoux, Jimmy Webb, Paul Williams, and Shawn Mullins, among others.
