The 12 track album features Jenny’s previous singles *‘Where The Water’s Cold’, ‘Square & Plain’ *and the heartwarming *‘Sister’ *(featuring her sisters, The Mitchell Twins) while listeners will find grit in ‘*Wives Who Wait’* and insight into Jenny’s country roots in *‘No Cash, No Meal’.* Having created a set of songs that is intimate, emotional, heartbreaking and uplifting, Jenny was determined that her storytelling would reach a new level of quality and consistency on this release. Jenny explains, *“Forest House is an album of songs that reflect everything that happens within the four walls of a house. The new beginnings, the leaving. The opening, closing or slamming of doors. The good, the bad, the nostalgic and everything in between. Produced by Matt Fell, Forest House was absolutely the best and most connected recording experience I’ve ever had. I spent months searching for a house that we (the band, my sisters, Dad and I) could all stay in and somewhere that would fit a DIY studio. I ended up finding the perfect spot, bunk beds and all, in rural Wairarapa in New Zealand and we spent a week there together, surrounded by beautiful birds and bush, bringing these songs to life.”* On her new single, described as the forthcoming album’s centrepiece, Jenny goes on to say, *“Heart Like A House is inspired by how important it is to me to build a life in music that is welcoming and safe for my band and my team – which has largely been influenced by watching other artists carve their own paths that don’t necessarily fit the mainstream industry model. It’s also really influenced by my upbringing, in a family who have always kept welcoming and hosting as a core value.” * Jenny will celebrate the release of ***‘Forest House’*** with a run of Australian headline tour dates in July, with shows in **Canberra, Bathurst, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Central Coast **and **Newcastle, **with tickets **on sale Tuesday 15 April. **Listeners can sign up to the exclusive Forest House tour **pre-sale now at: **[jennymitchell.co.nz/presale](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail19.com/t/d-l-sdyiuyk-ikttmjjlt-k/) The NZ Best Country Artist winner and two-time Golden Guitar nominee is currently on the road nationally opening for Kasey Chambers and is scheduled to perform at the Gympie Music Muster in August following the conclusion of her album tour.  *“A musical journey told with depth & emotion, shared with beautiful musicians, heartfelt production and strong family connection.* ‘*Forest House’ is everything I love about Jenny Mitchell.”* – **Kasey Chambers** ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/21814/Screenshot2025-04-09at10.25.50pm-990b6d0a2805143c.png) **ABOUT JENNY MITCHELL: ** Having carved herself a strong following in both her home country of New Zealand and here in Australia, Jenny Mitchell’s forthcoming *‘Forest House’* album release follows a busy past year for Jenny which included the release of her singles *‘Where The Water’s Cold’*, *‘Square & Plain’, ‘Sister’, *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 and has been the special guest for Kasey Chambers on her national tour since early 2025.   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. ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/21815/Screenshot2025-04-10at9.36.46am-990b6d028a04513c.png) **Sure Thing Agency presents ** **JENNY MITCHELL – THE FOREST HOUSE TOUR, 2025** **Pre-sale:  **[jennymitchell.co.nz](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail19.com/t/d-l-sdyiuyk-ikttmjjlt-n/) **Tickets on sale Tuesday 15 April 2025** **July ** Saturday 12th              The Street Theatre, Canberra, ACT  Sunday 13th                Little Alberts, Bathurst, NSW  Thursday 17th              Memo Music Hall, Melbourne, VIC Saturday 19th               The Candle & Quill Bookshop, Montville, QLD  Sunday 20th                 The Brightside, Brisbane, QLD  Thursday 24th               The Vanguard, Sydney, NSW  Saturday 26th               The Savoy Bar and Music, Long Jetty, NSW  Sunday 27th                  The Stag & Hunter, Newcastle, NSW  **August ** Monday 28th – Thursday 31st    Gympie Music Muster, QLD  **Premier Artists, Essence Music Group, ABC Country, and Double J Present** **KASEY CHAMBERS** ***BACKBONE***** ALBUM TOUR 2025** **WITH SPECIAL GUEST JENNY MITCHELL** **Tickets via **[kaseychambers.com](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail19.com/t/d-l-sdyiuyk-ikttmjjlt-p/) **April** Friday 11th                    The Cube, Campbelltown, NSW Saturday 12th               Dubbo RSL – Auditorium, Dubbo, NSW Thursday 17th               Darwin Entertainment Centre, Darwin NT **May** Thursday 1st                  Chaffey Theatre, Renmark, SA Friday 2nd                     Woodville Town Hall, Adelaide, SA Saturday 3rd                 Northern Festival Centre, Port Pirie, SA – **LAST TIX** Saturday 10th               Goldfields Arts Centre, Kalgoorlie, WA Sunday 11th                 Esperance Civic Centre, Esperance, WA Tuesday 13th                Princess Theatre – Albany Entertainment Centre, Albany, WA Wednesday 14th          Stage One – Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre, Bunbury, WA Thursday 15th               Astor Theatre, Perth, WA – **SOLD OUT   ** Friday 30th                    Riverlinks Eastbank, Shepparton, VIC Saturday 31st               Ulumbarra Theatre, Bendigo, VIC **June** Sunday 1st                    Frankston Arts Centre, Frankston, VIC Tuesday 3rd                  The Wedge Performing Arts Centre, Sale, VIC – **SOLD OUT ** Thursday 5th                 The Palms at Crown, Melbourne, VIC  Friday 6th                      The Palms at Crown, Melbourne, VIC – **SOLD OUT  ** Saturday 7th                 The Play House – Geelong Arts Centre, Geelong, VIC Friday 13th                    The Showroom, Twin Towns, QLD Saturday 14th               The Tivoli, Brisbane, QLD – **SOLD OUT** Sunday 15th                 Empire Theatre, Toowoomba, QLD **CONNECT WITH JENNY MITCHELL:** [INSTAGRAM](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail19.com/t/d-l-sdyiuyk-ikttmjjlt-x/)**  **[FACEBOOK](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail19.com/t/d-l-sdyiuyk-ikttmjjlt-m/)**   **[WEBSITE](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail19.com/t/d-l-sdyiuyk-ikttmjjlt-c/)
