The Cooper-Young jazz group was an institution in Midtown Memphis for the better part of the 2000s, playing at the Young Avenue Deli every Sunday from approximately 1999-2006.

After living in the United Kingdom for more than two decades, Emily Barker – the prolific, award-winning contemporary singer-songwriter best known for composing and performing the theme for Wallander, the BBC’s hugely successful crime drama starring Kenneth Branagh – returned home to Western Australia to begin a new musical chapter with her latest single, “Wild To Be Sharing This Moment”, out today through Everyone Sang/Kartel Music Group and embarking on a national tour with UK artist, Frank Turner.

“I’m an advocate for keeping conversation alive across divides,” Emily stresses, “for trying to approach each encounter as an opportunity for connection. We must find our common humanity in order to make the world a safer, better place for us all to live in.”
