The Vera Project hosts Marcus Foster and Johnny Flynn

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!

New Songs and Video from London

Jessica — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 09:42:29 +0000

Marcus has made his way back across the pond to England and brought with him some amazing new material that he wrote while galavanting around America.

I was lucky enough to catch Marcus’s show at The Troubadour last Friday and was able to hear the new material live and let me just say, he was better than perfection. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a camera on me but some other fans were able to pick up the slack and scored some wonderful footage of Marcus performing his two new songs, “I Belong” and “Bones.”

Marcus wrote these songs while on a 22 hour bus ride from LA to Colorado. The end result was well worth the trip and you can see and hear them for your self by watching the videos below.

Thanks to Laurie00UK for posting these to her Youtube account!

“I BELONG”

“BONES”
