about

Gratitude, grief, and wry reflections on dating experiences are the themes of this confessional-style folk music album by Nelson singer-songwriter Jacquie Walters.

“There’s nothing like heartbreak and angst to motivate a songwriter to put pen to paper,” says Jacquie. “While I put a few personal demons to rest with these songs, the album also canvases other topics such as my gratitude for living in Whakatū/Nelson and our family’s grief at the passing of a loved one during level 4 lockdown last year in the title track “The Forest”.

“It’s an album about healing in many ways and I hope it provides some solace for others.

“A few good laughs should also come from some of the other songs, such as “New World”, the one which deals with running into an ex at the supermarket. It’s possibly the only song ever that will include the words “I focus on my list of perishables”.”

“The Forest” consists of 12 original songs and features bass and guitar by James Wilkinson and harp by Maria Oxnam, both of whom played on Jacquie’s first album (released on cassette!) in 1993.

“Maria plays harp on a song called “Whakatū” which is a song about the healing power of a place of respite such Whakatū itself, where my children and I live.”
