If you like queer/sapphic artists with an 80’s synthpop vibe, a metric fuckton of energy and stage presence, and pipes for days (with a couple soulful ballads tossed in), you’re in for a treat
I’ve been a fan since summer of 2017 when I saw a random video on twitter of her singing fly me to the moon, and I’m so so happy that more and more people are getting on board with her lately! I was on a google meet call with her and about 30 fans last night and it was such a blast—everyone is so cool and sweet and Maris is as incredible a person as she is an artist 💛
Photos are of her most recent DC show in March, the pic we took then, and the pic we were recreating from her DC show in March of 2023 :)

I can recall seeing a Portland show at a place called 17 Nautical Miles (long gone but a Twitter handle with her photo as the avi still stands)
It was very early in her career and you could tell that public performance was scary for her
The show stopped and restarted a few times and she seemed incredibly fragile
I was and remain a huge superfan

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.

I got him at a particularly difficult point in my life and I’ve had him for 6.5 years now wow!!! He’s always been big, just much larger dimensions than a normal cat as well as being a little chubby lol. He’s a sweetie pie and is finally coming around to his little sister 💛
