EMILY BARKER

Emily launches her latest album (A Dark Murmuration of Words) on 4th Sept and is having two listening parties that day; one at 9.00am (UK time) and another in the evening at 8.00pm (UK time). Join her there with a coffee or even a glass of bubbly!

I believe it is Emily's most sophisticated and thoughtful intellectual album to date and she is a mercurial artist difficult to pin down. She has won awards in Americana sections of recent USA award shows and released joint collaborative work (Frank Turner, Red Clay Halo and Waterson family youngster Marry - A Window To Other Ways) as well was celebrating the work of women who have gone before (Sister Rosetta Tharpe - 'Sweet Kinda Blue') her themes invariably evokes aspects of finding a home in this world and can be amongst the most moving lyrically and musically I have ever heard (Dear River, Almanac etc).
