Jack River – Great Southern Nights

Holly Rankin is an Australian artist and producer best known by her musical nom de plume, Jack River. More than just a successful musician, Rankin is a writer, entrepreneur and promoter, starting Grow Your Own Festival in her hometown of Forster promoting local and sustainable culture and advocating for more local music in advertising with a viral social media campaign resulting in Our Soundtrack Our Stories. 

With over 100 million streams, a Platinum, and multiple Gold singles, Jack River is a force to be reckoned with. Her debut album Sugar Mountain earned 3 x ARIA Award nominations, including Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Best Pop Release and Engineer of the Year, an AIRA nomination for Best Independent Pop Album, and saw Holly nominated for Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year at the APRA Awards. 

Her latest record Endless Summer sounds like a beach holiday while the world burns. Ten perfect pop songs that shimmer like melting highways and drip like strawberry ice-cream. It’s not that Holly Rankin is being flip. This is an album intended to be an oasis - something to retreat to amid the apocalyptic horrors of the modern world.
