February

 Empty Boat At Shore

Few young songwriters pack more integrity and soul into their music as newcomer Joanna Barker. In 2010, the twenty-something Grand Falls-Windsor native began sending waves through St. John's already brimming folk music community with her ofttimes painstakingly earnest songs, which draw from various influences in folk, jazz, blues and country. By early 2012, Joanna celebrated the release of her debut album "February". Before it's release, Barker was already slated by The Newfoundland Herald as one of 2012 'Artists to Watch'. She calls downtown St. John's home.
