Jackie Marshall (born 1977) is an Australian singer-songwriter, composer, record producer and actor. While her musical training is in jazz vocals (

Queensland Conservatorium

), her work is more commonly described as alt-country, folk, and rock.

Career

Marshall's debut album Fight n'Flight was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize.^[1] Through Triple J's Unearthed project, Missy Higgins selected Marshall as support for numerous dates on Higgins' 2007 On A Clear Night tour.^[2] Marshall featured in the 2007 Women in Voice^[3] lineup at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre and appeared on SBS Television's RocKwiz on 29 September 2007,^[4] singing her signature track "You Want What I've Got" as well as a duo with Colin Hay.

Marshall initially based her song-writing style on 1960s folk and rock influences, having eschewed grunge-era contemporary popular music for figures such as Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Often playing in central Brisbane music venues such as Ric’s Bar, and later now-defunct popular venues The Troubadour and The Alley, in 1999 she was invited to develop new work with Triple J Unearthed all-female "world music" act Tulipan after founding member Virag Antal left the group. This collaboration resulted in a recording, Horizon with producer Daniel Denholm, which was finally independently released by the group in 2022, the group having disbanded some 20 years earlier after being dropped from the Festival Records roster.

Geneticist Larry Croft invited Marshall to

Joey Skagg’s infamous BioPEEP media hoax. Marshall remained in Ljubljana

for several months, making a number of artistic connections which in later years led to her return for collaborative projects.

After returning to Australia, she collaborated with

alt-country

and folk classics.

In 2011 Jackie retreated to boat-access-only

PTSD.^[6] As a result of her friendship with Leigh Ivin (The Re-Mains), Jackie recorded and released the EP Good People under the moniker The Peppercorn Queen et The Fat Lambs in 2014, subsequently recording a third full-length Jackie Marshall album Lilith Shrugs (2018)^[7]

with Ivin.

Marshall has worked as a theatre composer, notably an adaptation of Tove Jansson’s The Summer Book by director Barbara Stupica for Lutkovno gledališče Ljubljana in 2017,^[8] and hybrid outdoor circus production Hysteria for Chelsea McGuffin & Co. in July 2021 in Brisbane.^[9] She has also worked as a record producer on Lydia Fairhall's debut album True North (2020).

In 2020-2021 Jackie starred in and composed music and lyrics for the independent feature film Three Chords (in production), created by Wild Divine Film & TVs’ Claire Pasvolsky and Steve Pasvolsky.

Personal life

Jackie is a survivor of multiple cancers, notably breast cancer over the period 2016-17 during which time she garnered widespread Australian music community support.^[10] She advocates for greater understanding and visibility for artists experiencing mental health and neurodiversity-related issues.
