Billie Marten to play acoustic solo performance at Nottingham Rough Trade
To celebrate the release of her new album 'Dog Eared', the award-winning singer songwriter will play the record store on 22nd July
Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Billie Marten has announced an intimate acoustic solo performance at Nottingham’s Rough Trade on 22nd July, as part of a string of special in-store appearances celebrating the release of her forthcoming album Dog Eared.
The announcement comes alongside the release of “Clover,” the fifth single from the upcoming record, out now via Fiction Records. Following previously released tracks “Swing”, “Crown”, “Feeling,” and “Leap Year”, “Clover” is described as a “beautifully crafted, playful tune built of contradictions and oxymorons.” The song continues Marten’s gentle departure from traditional folk stylings, treading the experimental lines of artists like Feist and Lucy Dacus.
To mark the album’s arrival, Marten will embark on a short run of record store shows across the UK, with the Nottingham date offering fans an opportunity to see her perform stripped-back versions of new songs in a close-up setting.
Tickets for the Rough Trade performance go on sale today (19th June) at 10am, exclusively via the participating record stores.
Dog Eared will be Billie Marten’s fourth studio album, showcasing her continued evolution as a distinctive and introspective voice in the alt-folk and indie scenes.
