Laura Marling - MP-nominated, 2008 tour dates, Johnny Flynn

Laura Marling & Noah & The Whale @ SXSW 2008 (more)
Laura Marling

Laura Marling is playing Bowery Ballroom on September 15th. The show is part of a co-headlining North American tour with fellow UK musician Johnny Flynn who Laura has toured with before. Actually…

…Just after Charlie [Fink] moved to London – when he changed the name of his group from Johnny Hatracket to Noah and the Whale – we went to see Emmy the Great play with Diane Cluck, Emmy announcing that Johnny Flynn was leaving her band and that she was looking for a new multi-instrumentalist. Soon after Charlie joined her band; soon after that Emmy left, to be replaced by the then relatively unknown Laura Marling, with whom Charlie had just toured with. He went on to produce her EP, My Manic and I, and then her full-length record, Alas I Cannot Swim. [Drowned in Sound]

I’m confused. Tickets for the NYC show go on sale Tuesday at noon. Laura Marling is on this year’s Mercury Prize shortlist. All other known tour dates below…
