Jess Ribeiro formed the Bone Collectors with guitarist Rob Law in Darwin, NT, in 2008. After the release of 2009's Pilgrimage EP, the acclaimed debut album My Little River was self-released in May 2012. In October 2012 it scooped the 'Best Independent Country Album' prize at the 2012 Australian Independent Recording Label (AIR) Awards. Early in December 2012, it scored the Album of the Year prize on Australia's ABC Radio National, while January 2013 saw it short-listed for the prestigious Australian Music Prize (AMP). Loosely inspired by Karen Dalton, with nods to Paul Kelly and Patti Smith, Jess Ribeiro has been compared to the likes of Cat Power, Johnny Cash and Jolie Holland. Her songs are delicate yet expansive, dusty and moody, with lyrics and arrangements that are stark and heartfelt. Jess' distinct, intimate and sincere style is revealed in her fable-like songwriting.
