Have You Heard: Jen Mize

When did you start making music and why? Music has been ingrained in my life since a very young age. My dad was a big music lover and my mom had me playing Suzuki violin at the age of three.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Americana from the source.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Tom Petty's masterpiece Wildflowers - it may be the perfect album.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? The Last Waltz tribute at The Triffid in Brisbane last year, singing Emmylou's part in Evangeline with Danny Widdicombe & The Good Ol' Boys, The Wilson Pickers and Troy Cassar-Daley playing with. Surreal.

Why should people come and see your band? I'd like to think my Native American roots and eclectic musical upbringing offer an experience worth watching for all tastes.

When and where for your next gig? 2 Oct, Dashville Skyline; Warnings & Wisdom album tour October/November. Check website for details.
