Bridgetown-born Americana artist Emily Barker is set to kickstart the new year with a tour of the UK, including a stop at St Mary’s Church, Twyford on Thursday 6 February.
Following the release of her new album, Fragile As Humans, and accompanied by her full band – with support from Liz Stringer – the folk songwriter will play a series of headline shows across the country in late January and early February.
Emily Barker is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Western Australia. Her song, Nostalgia, was the theme for the acclaimed BBC crime drama, Wallander, starring Kenneth Branagh.
Emily has toured extensively, including with Frank Turner and Mary Chapin Carpenter, and was the 2018 UK Americana Artist of the Year. Barker’s first collection of poetry, Where The Black Swans Swim, was published this year through UK publisher Broken Sleep Books.
Following a series of support slots with King Creosote late last year, Barker returns to the UK for a headline tour with her full band.
