Performing Live: Jenni Smith
Join us at The Good Home for a live acoustic performance from pop-country artist Jenni Smith.
24-year-old singer-songwriter, Jenni Smith, happily embodies the girl-next-door trope with her romantic, personal song-writing style being a perfect match for the pop-country genre.
Jenni lives and breathes music, and since joining New Zealand’s vibrant country music scene at the age of 12, highlights include taking out Songwriter of the Year at the 2018 NZCMA Entertainer of the Year Awards, landing her 2024 song ‘T-Shirt’ at #3 on the Official NZ Singles Chart.
There's something for everyone in Jenni's country-influenced writing; whether you want a hoedown, to cry for hours, get sassy, or confess love, you can bet she's got a song for it!
Listen to Jenni Smith here!
