ALBUM TOUR COMMENCES JULY 12 – TICKETS ON SALE NOW
+ NEW SINGLE ‘LITTLE LESS LONELY’ AVAILABLE NOW
Award-winning artist Jenny Mitchell has released her beautiful new album ‘Forest House’ featuring the new single ‘Little Less Lonely’. This is the fourth album for the New Zealand born and Melbourne based singer songwriter and was created with ARIA and Golden Guitar award-winning producer Matt Fell. (Out now)
Receiving rave reviews and recorded in a temporary studio in a house in rural New Zealand, the 12 track album features Jenny’s previous singles,‘Where The Water’s Cold’, ‘Square & Plain’, ‘Heart Like a House’ 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 crafted a set of songs that is intimate, emotional, heartbreaking and uplifting, the acclaimed storyteller was determined that these new tracks 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’veever 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.”
‘Little Less Lonely’ is the fifth single lifted from the album with Jenny confirming the track is “a song about empathy. It always felt like the opening of Forest House and included three characters, and perspectives, feeling different kinds of loneliness.”
The NZ Best Country Artist winner and two-time Golden Guitar nominee recently announced her Australian ‘Forest House’ headline tour for July with shows in Canberra, Bathurst, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Central Coast andNewcastle. Tickets are on sale now at jennymitchell.co.nz/tour
Jenny is currently on a national tour with Kasey Chambers and is scheduled to perform at the Gympie Music Muster in August following the conclusion of her album tour.

Jenny Mitchell is one of my favourite songwriters and her ability to weave deep emotion into real life stories about the passing time and family is exceptional. She’s a NZ national treasure, can we claim her as our own yet?” – Fanny Lumsden
“I’ve had the absolute blessing of an advanced copy of “Forest House” and I’m loving this record. I love every single song and it is my favourite album in 2025. Jenny Mitchell is a great writer!” – Beccy Cole
“Every so often, an artist emerges who has everything it takes to reach the pinnacle of country music success. I have no hesitation in predicting that that is what lies ahead for Jenny Mitchell. She’s a star.” – Tamworth Country Music Capital News

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.
