[FOLK] Marian McLaughlin’s ornate brand of progressive folk pairs the preciousness of Joanna Newsom’s free-form style with sturdier elements of classic, nylon-string folkies like Joan Baez. With her musical partner in crime, double bassist and arranger, Ethan Foote, McLaughlin has created a surprisingly versatile cycle of tunes for her second release, Spirit House, moving well beyond the chamber motif of her debut into much more experimental territory. For her Buffalo gig, Thursday, March 3 at the 9th Ward (downstairs at Babeville), she’s joined by our own folkie string ensemble, Tiny Rhymes.
