Sally Barker is a British singer and songwriter from Leicestershire, known for solo work and as a founding member of The Poozies. Her style sits in folk and rock, with a background that also connects to soul and ethereal-related listening tags.

She is born in 1959 in the United Kingdom and begins her career after winning the Kendal Songsearch Competition in 1986. Following that win, she tours in support of acts including Fairport Convention, Taj Mahal, Richard Thompson, Wishbone Ash and Roy Harper.

Her first self-titled album gains a positive reception and includes cover versions of songs she has already performed live. Her second release, This Rhythm Is Mine, shows further development in her songwriting and performance. That album also receives a U.S. release on Ryko’s Hannibal label.

In 1990, she opens for Bob Dylan and Robert Plant in Germany.
