Marina Allen

A new Marina Allen album comes like the first day of Spring. The sky has blued; a clear air descends. Through the green fuse drives a flower. Across two introductory records, the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter has ripened a rare harvest, but her third studio album is an arrival home. Taking fragments and stories from Marina’s past, ‘Eight-Pointed Star’  deftly weaves together a new future, in what feels for all the world like a glittering, clear-eyed modern classic of alternative folk and Americana. Growing up in New Jersey on the East Coast, and then moving to California at the age of ten, Allen’s primary musical education was spent singing in community churches and school choirs. Her affection runs deepest for singers who in her words can really sing, from The Roches to Karen Dalton, Joanna Newsom to Meredith Monk. But these influences vanish like ghosts in the attic when she starts to sing herself. Allen has a voice that stands up to the canon – inimitable – and it’s never sounded more resolute than it does here. Her songs hold a dynamism that conjure distinctive worlds of their own.“a brilliant songwriter on the rise” — Rolling Stone, The Best Songs of 2024 So Far "Behind the elegant sounds of Laurel Canyon, the Los Angeles singer-songwriters vivid and knotty lyrics evoke half-imagined landscapes with startling clarity.” — Pitchfork  TICKETING INFOThis is an 18+ event. Do not attend if you are feeling unwell.PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:Once purchased tickets are non-refundable & non-transferableA booking fee applies to all advance tickets.
