She'll be joined by Lost Highway recording artist Johnny Flynn, a fellow Englishman whose album Tickle Me Pink is out now. These special co-headline dates are a chance to catch two of Britain's most promising young musicians on their very first American tour. UK folksters Mumford & Sons are opening all below tour dates.

Laura Marling wrote and recorded her debut album Alas, I Cannot Swim at the age of 17 and has since watched it snowball into one of the most critically acclaimed British albums of the year and was recently nominated for the 2008 Mercury Music Prize. Released in the UK in February, it'll be made available on CD in the US from August 19th on Astralwerks Records. The album was made available from digital retailers last month.
