I got to be on the radio chatting with my mate, Luke Dux talking about our record collections. It was soooo much fun! Thanks to Mike and RTRFM 92.1 Check out this list... Do you know these records? rtrfm.com.au/shows/revolv... 💛💛

2 yrs ago today ‘Fragile as Humans’ was released into the world. Despite these songs being written during lockdown, I love how they’ve translated beyond. They serve as reminders to me on how to guide myself through these headfuckery times we’re in - at their core was always the word ‘compassion’.

Another reading from my new poetry pamphlet ‘Sonogram {soundwriting}’. This one is ‘Dream diary of a touring musician’. Out via @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social 🩷 youtube.com/shorts/wjtL5...

I had the absolute pleasure of writing music for a photography / video exhibition by Brad Rimmer at Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre. This Saturday 11th April at 1pm, you can catch me in conversation with Brad and the other 'Loom of the Land' composer, Mark Holdsworth. wfac.org.au/whats-on/pos... <3

I wrote a new blog post. As before, I’ve used one of my songs as the container to hold a whole bunch of thoughts. The song is ‘Life is for an hour’. The thoughts are centred around the importance of creativity. www.emilybarker.com/wild/life-is... 🩷 Emily

Have you seen ‘Loom of the Land’ exhibition by Brad Rimmer yet? I had the pleasure of writing a piece of music for the exhibition of photographs that feature old halls, landscapes, townscapes and people from the West Australian wheatbelt. My piece is called ‘How to remember a hall’. A snippet...

🦘 An Australian artist I have seen live: @emilybarkerhalo.bsky.social @georgewachsmuth.bsky.social Emily Barker opened for Mary Chapin Carpenter in Omaha in 2018. I've been a fan ever since.

Sonogram {soundwriting} by Emily Barker is a structurally inventive collection in which lyric, score, setlist, dream record and field note braid into a poetics of voice under pressure. @emilybarkerhalo.bsky.social www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Thank you!!

Can’t believe it’s been just over a week since I got back from music adventure times in London on a boat, Vienna in the snow & Spain in the van eating mountains of tortilla. Was it all a dream??? Got surgery on my right ankle almost as soon as I landed...

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 festivalofsmallhalls.com/current-tour...

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. 💛
