Contents

Barnard is a Melbourne-based musician with a versatile musical range, delving into rock, pop and jazz genres. She has been a constant fixture in the Australian music scene for over four decades.

Barnard has appeared on recordings by many Australian artists including Paul Kelly, Tim Rogers, Renée Geyer, Deborah Conway, the Meanies, Warped, Stephen Cummings, TISM, You Am I, the Black Sorrows, the Fauves, Kutcha Edwards, the Audreys and Guy Pearce.

Early years

Barnard comes from a rich musical family history. In the 1920s her grandparents Jim and Kath Barnard ran the Kath Barnard Jazz Band. Rebecca Barnard is the daughter of Australian jazz drummer Len Barnard (once a member of the jazz band Galapagos Duck) and Jane Chirnside. In 1952 the Len Barnard Jazz Band recorded Australia's first microgroove LP record and toured extensively in Australia and overseas until his death in 2005. Her uncle is Bob Barnard, who is an accomplished Australian jazz trumpet and cornet stylist. Barnard is inherently a jazz singer and has said "I’ve always sung jazz, that’s sort of like my first love, you know, it's like breathing. It's sort of effortless." [2] Barnard began singing jazz in Melbourne venues when she was 16. [3]

Barnard was born in Melbourne and grew up in the outer-eastern Melbourne suburb of Mooroolbark in an estate designed by Edna Walling. [1] During her childhood, she listened to Gladys Moncrieff, Fats Waller, Pinetop Smith, Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong. She started playing music at 10 when her father gave her a guitar and started writing songs at 12. [4] At 14, she became acquainted with Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan.

Barnard featured in the Australian bands Daktari (1982), the Escalators (1983-1984), Black Coffee (and the Beans) (1985), Way Back Five (1986), Romance Without Finance, Peaceful Anticipation Social Aid and Pleasure Club (1990), the Stephen Cummings Band (1986 and 1990–91), the Trees (a pop band with John McAll) (1990), Triple Peaks (1991) and the Rebecca Barnard Band (1992). The band Way Back Five were a "super group" which played funk and reggae covers and consisted of Barnard, Kate Ceberano, Phil Ceberano, James Reyne and Steve Kearney (from Los Trio Ringbarkus). Barnard has indicated that Michael Hutchence (from INXS) sang with the band at one of their gigs. [5]

From 1982 to 1992, Barnard refined her live performance and vocal skills and was an in-demand session singer, [6] providing vocals and backing vocals on many Australian albums (including soundtracks and guest starring with various musicians). She went on to record and tour with Stephen Cummings, where she met Shane O’Mara (guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and producer). They were married in 1989 and amicably separated in 2009.

In the late 1980s, Barnard featured on Tonight Live with Steve Vizard and The Big Gig as part of the inhouse band for the respective shows. The band Swinging Sidewalks, featured on The Big Gig, was a jazz band which featured the singers Kerri Simpson and Shelley Scown. [1]

Barnard has credited the journalist Jill Singer in giving her the confidence to sing her own songs. [1]

When songwriting became a focus, she founded the band Rebecca's Empire in 1993, initially as a duo with O'Mara. In 1994, the band included Peter Luscombe and Bill McDonald. Michael den Elzen joined in 1995 when McDonald left to play with the band Frente!. The band toured extensively, supported acts such as Billy Bragg and Paul Kelly on their respective Australian tours, released three EPs and two albums (Way of All Things in 1996 and Welcome in 1999) and appeared on the Triple J Hottest 100 albums three years in a row. [7] The track "Way of All Things" was featured on the soundtrack to the Australian film Blackrock and featured on the hit television series Good Guys Bad Guys . At this height of popularity, Barnard had her own cooking segment on Triple J called "Pot of Rock". Barnard has said of her popularity at this time that she had "wasted a real good opportunity to do more with the momentum that we had". [8]

Rebecca's Empire formally disbanded in June 2000 when being a mother took priority (Barnard gave birth to her son with O'Mara, Harry, on 29 January 1996) and due to conflict between herself and O'Mara . [8] During this time and post 2000, many Australian bands recorded their albums in O'Mara and Barnard's home studio called Yikesville.

Barnard indicated that she suffered writer's block from 2000 to 2005, hence a hiatus between Rebecca's Empire ending and her solo career commencing. [5]

Barnard has been credited in providing the means for singer Vika Bull in starting her musical career when one of the backing vocalists in Barnard's band lost her voice. Bull, who was a receptionist at Platinum Studios in Melbourne, volunteered to fill the space. [9]

Solo career

She has recorded three solo albums, namely Fortified (2006), [10] Everlasting (2010), and after a lengthy hiatus, the album Music for Listening and Relaxation (2017). Barnard is known for her personal and heartfelt lyrics. [11] Her first two albums are on her own record label, Ladybird and distributed by Shock Records.

In 2022, it was announced that Barnard would be releasing her first album of jazz standards entitled The Night We Called It A Day, which has been produced and arranged by Barnard's friend Monique diMattina.

None of Rebecca's solo albums have charted on the Australian ARIA charts - it has been difficult for a performer like Rebecca Barnard to gain exposure for her original work, due to limitations of promotional budgets and lack of airplay. She also cites agism in the music industry as a factor for the lack of exposure "It is an ageist industry especially if you’re a woman. I’m doing the best stuff I’ve ever done now but you just do it because it feels good and that’s what you do.” [4]

Fortified (2006)


Fortified was co-produced by Barnard and her then husband, Shane O'Mara, and recorded at their home studio, Yikesville. She commenced writing material for the album in 2003. [12] Fortified featured various Melbourne musicians such as Lisa Miller (backing vocals), Tim Rogers (backing vocals), Peter Jones (drums), Michael Barker of the John Butler Trio (drums) and Snout's Ross McLennan (bass). The album contains tracks penned by Barnard and co-writers, including Rosemary Milne who wrote the lyrics to the theme of Play School on the song "I Hurt" (a track about the dark side of love). Fortified features one cover song, the Bob Dylan song "Boots of Spanish Leather". The album is led with the exuberant track "Keep Smiling", a song which deals with a longstanding relationship (either family or a friend) and the feeling of being so close, disassociated and out of control as a person becomes older ("who would have guessed, we would be such a mess ... down the track").

Everlasting (2010)


The emotive Everlasting was recorded in New York City, and mixed at Tony Bennett's studio in Englewood New Jersey, during a two-week stint of recording in 2008, with the help of jazz pianist Barney McAll, a long-time friend of Barnard and the first album without the assistance of Shane O'Mara. Rebecca Barnard co-produced this album with Barney McAll, which deals with issues of loss and love. The track Everlasting deals with the death of her father, jazz musician, Len Barnard. Everlasting includes some mature pop songs infused with jazz, such as Born in a Shirt (a Russian metaphor for being born lucky). [13] The tracks were all written by Barnard, except the track Seasong which is cover of a track by Robert Wyatt. The album was predominantly promoted by Barnard herself due to the lack of a promotional budget. [14] Everlasting was made with the assistance of a VicARTS grant. Rebecca has said "How incredible that we live in a society, where most of us are to be free to be. The government giving a 49-year-old woman money to write and record music. There are thousands of women out there deserving of this. Women that struggle with the constant dilemma of creativity versus motherhood, hormonal weirdness, ageing parents, trying to be everything to everyone." [15] The album received favourable reviews upon its release. [16]

Everlasting was also the ABC Radio "disc of the week" (week starting 21 June 2010), where the album received some airplay. The ABC Radio review of the album indicated that Everlasting was "sultry, sassy and even a little bit sexy, Rebecca captures the sound of a woman on top of her game." [17]

The musicians on the album (apart from Barnard and Barney McAll) include Matt Darriau (he plays a clarinet solo on the song You Are Loved), drummer Dan Rieser (ex-band member from Marcy Playground and drummer for Norah Jones), jazz musician Jonathan Maron on bass (from the band Groove Collective), and cellist Rufus Cappadocia.

Music for Listening and Relaxation (2017)

The album was released on iTunes on 9 April 2017, and available on music streaming websites such as Tidal and Spotify, with the album being officially launched in Melbourne on 8 July 2017.

For this album, Barnard collaborated with Michael den Elzen, (who previously played bass with Rebecca's Empire on their 1996 album, Way of All Things). The album was recorded in den Elzen's studio in Central Victoria, called Waldemar's Studio. The album was a true collaboration between Rebecca and Michael, as they play all the instruments on the album. Rebecca on vocals, guitar, kalimba, percussion and keyboards, whilst Michael plays guitars, bass, drums, percussion, cello, double bass, keyboard, banjo, mandolin, tzoura, chimes vocal, and also undertook the field recording of the Australian bush, which features heavily on the album.

Barnard has indicated that the album was inspired by "the power of nature, love, the fragile beauty of planet Earth", and that this is reflected in the lyrics. [20]

The title Music for Listening and Relaxation was inspired by an old record cover Barnard found in an opportunity shop in the Blue Mountains. Barnard indicated that the title "seemed to encapsulate the mood of the songs we were writing at the time, and our obsession with nature photographer Michael K Morcombe." [20]

Barnard has indicated that in retrospect she should have called the album 'Music for Listening', "because some people seriously have thought it's a new age meditation record. Or I should have called it 'Music for Listening while Driving." [4]

Barnard indicated that many of the tracks on the album focused on the fate of the world, where "Golden Hour" is about nature, "Black Coral" about aging and young girls, and "Crash and Burn" being inspired by Australian Greens founder Bob Brown – where Barnard was inspired by a quote of his "If it goes, it's gone forever" – Barnard said, "(It) just stuck in my mind, so you know, it is a bit negative.". [1]

Touring

Rebecca Barnard is known for her warm personality and humour[ citation needed ], and she couples this with her emotive performances. She tours frequently (particularly in Melbourne), but also takes part in various music festivals and gigs throughout Australia.

Due to her jazz background, Rebecca Barnard also performs jazz - both solo and with various bands, singing a selection of jazz standards.

During 2011 and 2012, Barnard teamed with up with fellow Australian singers Monique Brumby and Kerri Simpson, performing the show "Sheilas of the '70s" (a tribute to female singers of that decade), where the show included comic dialogue and songs by Kate Bush, Donna Summer, Suzi Quatro, Melanie, Blondie and Fleetwood Mac. [23]

On 26 September 2017, Rebecca Barnard whilst being interviewed by Jon Faine (on ABC Radio Melbourne), indicated that it was difficult to "get bums on seats" in touring and promoting her own original work. Consequently, Rebecca has been touring, doing jazz shows, and dedicated shows singing songs by Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Due to the lack of exposure and promotional budgets, it has been difficult for Barnard to inform the Australian public of her current original work, despite the early success she had with her band, Rebecca's Empire.

Throughout 2017, Rebecca Barnard and Monique diMattina toured their "Dao of Dylan" show. In this collaboration, Monique and Rebecca draw from their blues/jazz/rock roots to interpret and discuss the mystic resonance of Bob Dylan's work in their lives and music.

In April 2018, Barnard announced that she would be doing a series of shows (in June 2018) with Jodi Phillis (from the band The Clouds).

Barnard contributed with a Bob Dylan penned song called "Serve Somebody". [26] In 1994, she provided two tracks with P.R.I.C.S (now renamed Performers Releasing Information About Clean Syringes/Clean Sex) on the album "If You Do It Do It Safe" - the two tracks contributed were Pearl Jam's "Alive", and Prince's "Sign O' The Times".
