Folk Punk troubadour Frank Turner will be joined by homegrown talent The Hard Aches and Emily Barker on his ‘Be More Kind’ tour this December.
Emily Barker is best known as the writer and performer of the award-winning theme to the hit PBS Masterpiece drama Wallander. Growing up in rural Western Australia,Barker fell in love with American roots music from the soul of Aretha Franklin to the country of Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris. Her travels led her to settling in the UK, where she has released a succession of critically acclaimed albums, including Nashville-recorded Applewood Road.
The Hard Aches are hot off the heels of a national sold out tour as well as the release of their sophomore album, Mess, a collection of songs “Written with a focus on mental health in a hopeful and positive light.”. Their emotive melody-driven punk rock is both anthemic and intimate. Open your ears, open your hearts; they’ve got some stories to tell.
