Emily Barker & Lachlan Bryan in Melbourne

Acclaimed Australian songwriters Emily Barker and Lachlan Bryan are joining forces for The Shortest Days Tour in June 2025.

Emily has gained international recognition for her fusion of indie, folk, and Americana after early success as the writer and performer of the theme to the hugely successful BBC/PBS Masterpiece crime drama Wallander starring Kenneth Branagh. Her 2024 album Fragile as Humans showcases her signature emotive storytelling.
“One of the most literate and probing folk albums of the year. I really love it.” Ann Powers, NPR Music�“an album of spare, striking beauty” Mojo ★★★★

Lachlan is well-known to local audiences as a master storyteller and live performer. Whether he's performing solo, fronting his band The Wildes or collaborating with Country Music Icon Catherine Britt in The Pleasures. His songs range from hard hitting social commentary to deeply personal musings, but each contains a unique turn of phrase, dark humour and an ever-present sense of romance.

Don't miss Emily and Lachlan together for the first time for a night of heartwarming and soul-nourishing songs and stories.
