Sound the “a larum,” if you will…

Exciting news has filtered through the web this past week. It was officially announced that Marcus Foster will be joined by fellow English folk musician Johnny Flynn on December 7th, co-headlining at The Vera Project in Seattle.

Flynn, hailed as “the next poster boy of the nu-folk scene” by the London Times, burst onto the music scene in 2008 with his first LP, A Larum, catching the attention of fans and critics alike. A poignant story teller, Flynn will no doubt weave a tangled web of acoustic melodies and derisive wordplay to reel the audience in.

Adding to buzz is Marcus Foster’s highly anticipated return to the U.S. Foster, a contributor to multiple major motion picture soundtracks (Twilight, $5 a Day), completed a sold-out U.S. mini tour this past summer, and left audiences across America wanting more. Announcements by Foster via Twitter have alluded that new material is to be debuted, and the news that fan favorite song “I Was Broken” may make a re-vamped appearance has loyal Foster fans even more excited to welcome him back on American soil.

This impressive pairing could leave audiences wanting only one thing – perhaps a little dual “folk-freestyle?”

Rounding out the show will be Blue Roses and Moon Pulls the Ocean (Tom Eddy Solo). For more information, please visit The Vera Project website – tickets are available now!

Keep watch around these parts…you may be seeing more of Johnny Flynn than you might think!

No surprise for us here!

Featuring fan favorites such as “Kiss Is A Knife,” “I Don’t Mind,” and “14 Times,” the six song EP quickly climbed the charts and with rave reviews, rating at the highest possible 5 stars.

Congratulations to Marcus on the success of his first solo release! We look forward to what we’re certain will be an equally successful U.S. tour!

He has, however, also advised that the L.A. show dates for his upcoming U.S. mini tour are now in order, and will be posted on his MySpace page soon. Keep an eye out!

The show will take place SATURDAY night, following the end of the three artist’s Twi-con commitments. Saturday is August 1st, and the doors open at 11:30pm. The show itself starts at midnight and continues through the wee hours of the morning – which is technically August 2nd. This is why Poor David’s/Front Gate Tickets are selling pre-sale tickets for the date of August 2nd.

Tickets can be purchased here via Front Gate, and can be mailed or picked up at willcall.

See you there!

Thanks to our fabulous Brit boys for keeping us updated – we’ll see you there!
