Australian-born singer-songwriter and composer Emily Barker moved to the UK in 2002 basing herself in Cambridge. After forming a band called the-low-country with guitarist Rob Jackson she toured the UK, recorded two albums and received recognition and support from influential English DJ, the late John Peel.

After the release of her solo album 'Photos. Fires. Fables.' in 2005, Parker joined forces with Anna Jenkins, Jo Silveston and Gill Sandell, a trio of talented multi-instrumentalists. Calling themselves Emily Barker and The Red Clay Halo their 2008 debut album 'Despite the Snow' received widespread critical acclaim. The album's opening track was a stark, haunting ballad called 'Nostalgia' and the track was subsequently re-recorded and adopted as the theme music to Wallander, a cult British TV series starring actor Kenneth Brannagh. The exposure led to Emily Barker and The Red Clay Halo recording a further three albums.

In tandem with her career as a solo artist and as a band member Barker is rapidly becoming an established composer within the TV and film industry and has scored music for the horror film 'The Keeping Room' and wrote the soundtrack for the UK movie 'Hector' released in 2015.
