Krissy Jackson’s fiddle-centric folk takes the listener on a musical journey, from foot-stomping to heart-wrenching and everything in between.
Described as “an extraordinary musician and heartfelt performer,” Krissy’s music dances with melody and tone, honouring the historical depth of folk music while still making it her own.
Through her voice and fiddle, Krissy connects deeply with her audience. Creating compelling folk music that transcends genre and stylistic boundaries.
Performing with husband Peter on keys and harmony, Krissy creates beautiful music that is a sensory delight. Their ability to read the room and adjust their set list accordingly makes for more than just entertainment: an experience that engages the audience right up until the final note… songs, tunes, and harmonies that fill the soul and are performed with first-class musicianship.
Keyboardist and harmony singer Peter Jackson is described as a player “whose quiet brilliance and intuition hold things together beautifully and sensitively.”
A highly sought-after fiddler immersed in New Zealand’s folk scene, Krissy has performed previously at many festivals with The Frank Burkitt Band, Hot Diggity, Waitai and Adam McGrath, and performed with Peter on the Balladeer stage.
