2013

• April
• April 5 – Dingle’s Other Voices – London, UK

Nick Hasted described Marling at the first London edition of Dingle’s OTHER VOICES in The Independent: “Laura Marling, focusing on her new album Once I Was An Eagle, uses her pale beauty with still power, her strong gaze matching the songs’ arresting pile-ups of imagery. If you think the torrents of words recall Dylan, well, ‘It ain’t me, babe,’ she chides on ‘Master Hunter’, and if she hardly seems the devil-marked woman of ‘Pray For Me’, her desire to try on characters and stories, not confess, is her most Dylanesque trait.”

• May 25 – with Devin Cuddy – 99 Sudbury – Toronto, Ontario

Sarah Murphy wrote about the Toronto show for exclaim.ca: “Marling embraced the chance to showcase her new material solo. She even took transportation into her own hands to make the gig, renting a car and driving up from Chicago after a cancelled flight threatened to derail the scheduled appearance…she also fired off banter about a handful of recent shows and the fact that her parents still scold her when they read about her taking pause to fiddle with guitar tuning.”

• May 28 – Roulette Ballroom – New York, New York
• Secret Cinema
• 13-16 June – 18-23 June – 25-30 June – 2 July
  — Laura Marling: An Immersive Musical Experience – Secret Cinema – London, UK

Neil McCormack reviewed the Secret Cinema show for The Telegraph: “A rambling Victorian manor in East London had been converted to resemble an elegantly rundown 1920s hotel, presided over by the mysterious and imaginary Undine family, mythic water-nymph characters referred to on Marling’s latest album, ‘Once I Was An Eagle’. Audience members were asked to arrive in vintage black tie and evening wear, and to bring flowers, records and gifts for strangers. Phones were politely confiscated at the door, and we were welcomed into a gorgeously decadent setting with the faded opulence of a Gatsby villa after the money’s run out. There were strange art displays in bedrooms. An Ophelia-like madwoman stalked the corridors, tearing heads off flowers. Bell boys and managers chattered in character. Hotel staff burst into song…There was the thrilling sense that anything might happen.

• July
• July 22, 23, and 24 – St. Stevens Uniting Church
  (with Marika Hackman) and Ruth de Tuberville – Sydney, Australia

Bernard Zuel wrote about the St. Stevens show for The Sydney Morning Herald: “Far more convincing and far more focused than when she last played here…Marling’s voice also sounded astonishingly good: taking flight without a flutter; rolling firmly through the depths. She’s now singing with her microphone stand set higher, making her turn her throat and head up. It may have been for reasons as simple as countering what used to be a natural tendency to look down when confronted by an audience but it certainly feels like there’s more than aesthetics at play here.”

• July 25 – Flinders St Baptist Church – Adelaide, Australia
• July 26 – St Joseph’s Church (with Marika Hackman) – Perth, Australia
• July 28 – Splendour in the Grass – Byron Bay, Australia

• August
• August 12 – BBC Proms – Royal Albert Hall – London, UK
• August 14 – The Woman’s Club Theatre of Minneapolis
  – Minneapolis, Minnesota (with Paul Metzger)
• August 15 – Pabst Theatre – Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Pete Levy of the Journal-Sentinel wrote about the Pabst Theatre show: “Throughout her hourlong set, she frequently channeled the spirit of Joni Mitchell. And on “Love Be Brave,” she delivered poetic verses like “I am purpose and regret” and “Hold me darling, make no sound/silence speaks for me” with such sage conviction, it was like the 23-year-old petite blond woman had transformed into the suit-wearing, 78-year-old master Leonard Cohen.”

• September 25 – Usher Hall – Edinburgh, UK

David Pollock reviewed the Usher Hall concert for The Independent: “In contrast to the well-spoken 23-year-old daughter of a Hampshire baronet before us, demure in leggings and a blouse, commending our applause as being “very polite” and joking about tuning her G-string, her in-song persona is something otherworldly and richly defined. With every sigh and piercing cry, she switches from tangible sadness to palpable sexuality to regret and a simmering anger beneath the surface.”

Sarah Walters wrote in the Manchester Evening News about Marling’s Albert Hall show: “Vocally, she’s probably the purest singer of her generation: effortless ascending the octaves but also utterly dripping in pathos. The fact this angelic character can also tear I Feel Your Love out of a growling electric guitar like a British Kristin Hersh or tickle the neck of her blues dobro on How Can I? like a worldly busker on Beale Street these days just puts her on a higher musical plain: no longer the sweet folk artist singing about her nightmares, it’s the sort of game changer that got Bob Dylan called Judas just across the road from here at the Free Trade Hall.”

Will Richards wrote for DIY about Marling at Latitude Festival 2015: “After the beautifully compiled intro quartet from 2013’s ‘Once I Was An Eagle’ proved a thunderous introduction, Marling followed with a completely alien, bluesy adaption of ‘Devil’s Spoke’. ‘Short Movie’ opener ‘Warrior’ is turned on its head from gentle acoustic to something even bordering on rockabilly.” and Alexandra Pollard said (in Gigwise): “When she did allow her acoustic style to creep back in, her voice, drenched with a pure and soaring vibrato, pierced the air with such precise clarity that the crowd fell utterly silent. Later, after deciding on the spur of the moment to perform two songs without the band, she began to close the set with Short Movie’s title track, before promptly stopping, unhappy with its tuning. After a second false start, she turned to the crowd and said, a dejected look on her face, “Oh, this is rubbish.” It wasn’t. It never is.

Laura Marling’s SHORT MOVIE made The Telegraph’s list of the Best Albums of 2015. “It takes a rare rock guitarist,” said Helen Brown, “to remind us that electricity is a potentially dangerous natural force but Marling’s new sound evokes the strange dark thrill of low skies before a storm. At times it sounds more like she’s plugged her guitar into a brooding thunder cloud than a man-made socket.”

Total appearances in 2015: 63
