  Marshall’s live shows have been known for their unpolished nature, with songs beginning and ending abruptly or blending into one another without clear transitions. She has also cut short performances without explanation. On some occasions this has been put down to her suffering from stage fright and the influence of alcohol. Marshall has admitted abusing alcohol in the past; in a 2006 interview with the New York Times, she declared herself to be sober, which she defined as having had "seven drinks in seven months.Recently, Marshall's performance style has been said to be much more enthusiastic and professional. An article in Salon called The Greatest "polished and sweetly upbeat", stating that Marshall was "delivering onstage". In the article, Marshall states that her newfound musical collaborators and sobriety are largely responsible for her increased confidence onstage. She often performs reworked covers at her live shows, of songs old and new such as those by Gnarls Barkley, Will Oldham, The White Stripes, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, and Jessie Mae Hemphill. catpowermusic.com OPENING BAND: Dexter Romweber Du: ruraltone.com Cat Power - Cross Bones Style
