Laura Marling At only 25, Laura Marling is a veteran songwriter who released her first album seven years ago, writing with what seemed to be lifetimes of experience and ache when she was still in her teens. With the clever rhythms of a poet set beside equally-ambitious folk music that can be sparse and light, but still powerful and heavy, Marling manages to always be exciting in a sometimes sleepy corner of music. She is set to perform at Headliners on Wednesday, Nov. 18. $20.
