My new single 'White geraniums' comes out this Friday 14th Nov!

Spookily, the day I shot this music video the very flower I use as a metaphor in the song bloomed.

You can pre-save the song here: www.emilybarker.com/whitegeraniu...

Excited to announce this tour of the bottom half of my home-state!

Full of halls old & new, full of stories and bunting, it all kicks off in Mount Magnet on 6th of August, winding deep into the fields of the Wheatbelt and karri forrests of the South West

This Nov, I'm heading home to Bridgetown to play 'Blues at Bridgetown' with full band on a cool-looking line-up.

The festival in 1993 was one of the pathways that lead me to picking up a guitar and playing music after seeing The Waifs perform at the gazebo at my high school during lunch break.

This is Timon, my 14 yo nephew who made the stop motion animation for ‘Believe it all for you’ using his mum’s Oppo android phone, a lead pencil, an eraser, some sand, & some paper.

‘Fragile as humans’ just turned one!

Whilst on the road in UK and EU, I wrote my second blog post. This one is about track one of Fragile as humans: 'With Small We Start'. It includes some photos of the farmhouse I grew up in, a poem, a photo of my dad, and an early demo.
Hope you enjoy it!

The UK / EU tour part 1 is a wrap!
It’s been an absolute blast to play music and share van life, meals, laughs, stages, backstages, cheeses with these beauties: Rob Pemberton, Alex Heane, Liz Stringer and Rebecca Kemp.
Thanks to everyone who made it to a show! We’re so grateful.
