Jen Mize & The Rough N' Tumble

"JEN MIZE IS A MARVEL. TOGETHER WITH HER BAND THE ROUGH N’ TUMBLE - SHE IS NOT TO BE MISSED.
A KNOCK-OUT SINGER AND A STELLAR SONGWRITER - THIS IS JEN AT HER PEAK."
SEAN SENNETT/TIME OFF MEDIA

The raucous 8 piece 'Rough N' Tumble' is a massive undertaking for Mize, who has self-produced this project along with band members, Jeremy Edwards & Mitch Power, and engineered by Jason Millhouse (Recordworks), with Mark Sholtez (Misty Mountain Sound). Word has already hit the Australian music scene that Mize is working on something big...

“We want to shake a room, man,” she says. “We're a real band...we want to vibrate an audience with music that feels like music used to feel. In the tradition of artists like Bonnie Raitt, The Band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Little Feat, The Black Crowes & Tedeschi Trucks Band, we are setting out to compel a crowd to shake their hips to new music that sounds classic.”

Mize adds, “Get some real players together with a killer mix of old school country/ blues, rock and soul. That stuff hits you, man, a tight rhythm section, two fantastic guitarists...and when that B3 and Leslie get humming and those horns start in with their stabs and swells... Damn! It’s undeniable! Still as good today as it was then. That’s what we are setting out to do with The Rough N’ Tumble.”


"JEN MIZE IS BREAKING NEW GROUND AND FLEXING HER FORMIDABLE SONG- WRITING CHOPS WITH MUSIC THAT TICKS ALL THE BOXES: BLUES, SOUL AND SOUTHERN ROCK WRAPPED UP IN HER VELVET VOICE WITH SOME FINE BURLY MUSICIANSHIP FROM THE ROUGH N’ TUMBLE BOYS. LOOK OUT KIDS – THERE’S A NEW CONTENDER IN TOWN.’
