UK indie folkie, the darling Miss Laura Marling, has confirmed a series of sideshows to complement her appearance on the 77-strong bill for Splendour In The Grass 2013.
Returning to Australia this July, Marling will perform unique headline shows in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne in intimate church settings courtesy of Heavenly Sounds. The unique series will see Marling perform songs from her latest album Once I Was An Eagle as well as selections from her rich back catalogue.
Released in Australia on May 24th, praise for Once I Was An Eagle – Marling’s fourth record – is already pouring in from international critics. Q Magazine calls it “beautiful, heartfelt, searching, sublime” in their four star review, and Mojo notes “It’s the sweet sound of this unique talent evolving and it’s utterly captivating,” in their own four-star write-up.
The 23-year-old singer-songwriter was in Australia last year as part of Laneway 2012, performing a series of breathtaking sideshows around the country.
Since her 2007 debut, Alas I Cannot Swim Laura Marling has established herself as one of the finest young talents around. At just 23 years of age, she has scored a Brit Award, two Mercury Music Prize nominations, and an NME Award for Best Solo Artist.
Do not miss this chance to catch Laura Marling in a unique and unforgettable setting.
