Charlie Barker
Charlie
Barker is a young and talented singer songwriter who performs a wide variety of
American influenced acoustic music. She
came to our attention following her appearance at the Wickersley Young Acoustic
Roots Competition back in March 2005. We recorded her debut album ‘Sleeping at
the Station’ the same year and it portrays Charlie with her music just on
guitar complete with some tasteful cello arrangements.
Over the
years, Charlie has been inspired by American folk and country artists such as
Nanci Griffith, The Dixie Chicks, Janis Ian and Alison Krauss. She can be seen
regularly performing in many of the acoustic venues and folk clubs in her
native South Yorkshire/ Derbyshire area. She
has appeared at the Royal
Festival Hall, London,
in the National Festival of Music for Youth, on BBC local radio and she also played at the Radio 2 Young Folk Award
semi finals back in the autumn of 2005. Festivals
have ranged from Wath, Filey, Rockinbeerfest and Worksop to Ely and Henley
where on both occasions she was rebooked for the following year. She is also attracting attention on the
corporate circuit.
"Ely
Festival produced a jewel this year in Charlie Barker.
It was my first time seeing Charlie but not my last. Lovely voice, superb delivery,
totally engaging, beautiful stage manners and of course that indefinable
something that makes her audience want to listen to her songs. A rare gift
indeed. The next house-hold name on the folk scene? Charlie
Barker, no doubt about that!" - Anthony John Clarke, Musician
"Her intrinsic purity of tone
and expression betrays shades of Alison Krauss and Nanci Griffith. Charlie's
treatment of the ubiquitous 'Fields of Gold' gives Eva Cassidy a run for her
money." - Stirrings
Magazine
"A
seasoned performer of gratifying modesty and integrity, who creates
arrangements which speak for themselves. ‘Sleeping at the Station’ plays like a
gift to the listener."
