Laura Marling at Grindcore

This past Friday, we headed over to Grindcore House (1515 S. 4th) to catch Laura Marling's current solo tour (which is completely sold out, by the way) in support of her latest album, A Creature I Don't Know.  The set was short but incredibly sweet, and included new songs, a few from the past, and a cover of Ryan Adam's "My Winding Wheel."  Though it's been said a thousand times that 21-year-old Marling is wise beyond her years, it's not until you watch her perform that you really understand what that means.  Her sweet voice combined with her honest and occasionally dark lyrics would lead you to believe she has lived multiple lives, and learned from each.  We loved seeing her in such a small, intimate setting—and the vegan coffee was good, too.
