Who: Laura Marling
What: New album and tour
Where: The Town Hall, 123 West 43rd St. between Sixth & Seventh Aves., 800-982-2787
When: Monday, August 3, $30-$40, 8:00
Why: Just in case you missed twenty-five-year-old British folk singer-songwriter Laura Marling when she played Warsaw on March 23, celebrating the release of her fifth full-length album, Short Movie (Ribbon, March 23), you can catch the three-time Mercury Prize nominee again this summer, when she’ll be at Town Hall on August 3. In the meantime, you should check out her latest video, “Gurdjieff’s Daughter,” which is, essentially, a short movie itself, featuring such friends of hers as Rostam Batmanglij, Jonathan Wilson, Marika Hackman, Rhian Rees, and Hanne Steen. Among the other songs on the record are “False Hope,” “I Feel Your Love,” and the title track. The album closes with “Worship Me,” to which we can only say, “Okay.”
