I’ve been obsessed with Lianne since high school. Her music is so beautiful and she sounds Unreal live. She played at a jazz festival near me not too long ago but I couldn’t go. I realllly hope I get to see her someday.
As far as Laura goes: I know she said she’ll never tour but a girl can dream. 😔♥️

Somewhere between the ornate quietude of Nick Drake circa "Bryter Later" and Joni Mitchell's pre-jazz period lies the music of the amazing Laura Marling.
I saw her tonight here in London at an old church now converted to a performance venue, in front of a partisan crowd who knew every lyrical twist of every tune.
She is a veritable triple threat:
* Gorgeous voice
* Incredible guitarist, right up there technically with English folkies like John Renbourn and Bert Jansch
* Songwriter par excellence, with melodic gifts and lyrical wit/panache to spare.
Her latest album, "Patterns In Repeat," is a love letter to motherhood (Marling is a new mom) and a grower in the very best sense of the word.
Tonight she was joined after an initial solo set (marked by a remarkable fourteen minute opening medley of songs from 2013: "Take the Night Off/I Was An Eagle/You Know/Breathe") by a string quartet, her regular bassist, and the Hackney Deep Throat Choir, which added incredible color and layers to her new songs.
It's so rare that you get to spend an evening in a church with a musician who is both technically dazzling and emotionally earth-shaking, someone capable of drawing gasps one moment and tears the next.
Laura Marling is that kind of artist. IYDKNYK.

Inventive and dreamy harpist. I’m blessed to have recently seen her perform at an intimate venue at the rec of another pi.fyi’er. Not an artist to ever miss! I’m still reeling.

i’ve seen her and her band 4 times over the years…i make an effort to see her anytime she’s in nyc bc it’s such a beautiful experience.
she’s got such a good stage presence and vocals, her band is immensely talented, and they all always have great chemistry. the shows honestly feel very therapeutic to me (all shows do but this is something special). she also picks some really cool openers and i’ve discovered a lot of good music that way. she’s left the crowd in awe on multiple occasions. hoping to see her again someday soon bc i know it won’t disappoint.

You will surprise yourself and you will connect with the coolest groups of people. Don’t let imposter syndrome or rejection stop you. Get rejected one hundred times. It’s worth it for the times you’ll be seen and accepted and supported. And you get to support others while you’re at it.
