Lincoln Hall & Schubas present a 93XRT show with...

Laura Marling

The folk-oriented Marling remains in a class of her own. As the Times Of London recently posited, "Who else is making music as ambitious, as haunting, as centuries-straddling, as thought-provoking and artistically tenacious as this? And the answer is: nobody. No, really. Not a soul." (http://www.lauramarling.com)
