REBECCA BARNARD comes from a rich musical family history. In 1952 her father Len Barnard recorded Australia’s first microgroove LP record and toured extensively both here and overseas. Rebecca grew up listening to Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong but at the age of 14 she heard Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan and became obsessed. The cross pollination of musical styles is evident in her music, especially her vocal phrasing. In 2011 she started writing songs for a new album. For this album she has collaborated with Michael den Elzen, (who played bass in Rebecca’s Empire for a number of years), to create the album MUSIC FOR LISTENING AND RELAXATION. It was recorded at Michael’s studio in Central Victoria. Sometimes sparse, sometimes lush this album is a homage to love, the wonder and beauty of nature and the connection we all share. Hear Rebecca down here on the 30th of June!
